Stakes and Bones — Julia Vee

Roxy's got two hammers, a bit of Breaker magic, and the deathbed promise she made to her father.The Seattle Slayers, an elite cadre of fighters dedicated to protecting the city, is having their Trials for new initiates. My dad was a Slayer--one of the best. I thought his legacy might give me an edge in the Trials, but I was wrong. If anything, it made them harder on me.But joining the Slayers is my best chance to save my mom. And, maybe, I need to see if I can fill my dad's shoes.The only things standing between me and my dreams are all the other elite fighters and magic users who want their spot on the Slayers too. I will battle them all--fae warriors, river demons, and a vicious animage who hates my guts.I've got my hands full but a certain vampire princeling further complicates my life even as he saves it. He's powerful, handsome, and deadly-a combination I find hard to resist.If you enjoy slow-burn romance and rooting for the underdog, cross over to Twilight Veil, where life is cheap and vampire blood spends the best.
