Thicker Than Water by brennaiswriting

Bridget Sheehan has three major problems. 1. She is a vampire, and has no idea how it happened. 2. Someone is trying to kill her (most likely witches) 3. The handsome vampire who offered her sanctuary wants to... date her? After waking up in the middle of nowhere with partial amnesia, Bridget is whisked away to a mansion full of other vampires. But being the new girl is the least of her problems. Someone is trying to kill her and she has no idea why, the others in the mansion stare at her like they've seen a ghost, and the incredibly handsome and sweet vampire who has offered to protect her is far more virtuous than she had expected. Bridget must learn to hone her new abilities and trust those around her if she plans to defeat those who wish her harm. Because if she can't, her life (and the lives of every supernatural being on earth) will be at stake. --------------------- This story is complete, but I'm working on the first major edit chapter by chapter. *previously titled "Who Wants to Live Forever?" --------------------- 🥈2nd Place Winner of Ace Awards Supreme - Vampire/Werewolf 🥉3rd Place Winner of The Creative Awards - Vampire/Werewolf

A WATTPAD FEATURED BOOK (4/26/18) **I took this down because it's very old and rough in places from being the first novel I ever finished, but people have asked me to put it back up. Please note that this not an erotic romance like my other books. It's a science fiction/paranormal mashup with some slow-burn romance.**
