The text below reads:
Celia Sharpe's dream of being a rockstar guitarist ended the day an accident wrecked her hand. Now a New York City concert photographer, she strictly focuses on making deadlines. 
But when Celia spots a mysterious stranger at a concert she can’t capture on camera, she follows him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.
Stranded in a world of monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. 
But the stranger she followed reveals he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum, and he offers her a seductive opportunity: the band's flirty guitarist Caliban 
will temporarily heal her hand and chronic illness, then help her home. . .
only if she joins Mortuus Aeternum for one performance with a full vampire audience.
Celia is conflicted: she might be willing to sacrifice her freedom for Caliban's healing magic and a second chance at living her rockstar dreams, but she risks being trapped in the Vampire Realm for one year if she doesn't return home in 3 days. To make matters worse, a ruthless vampire lord has announced blood shortages across the Realm—making Celia the new primary food source.Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS.
