Praise for The Book of Blood and Roses

A thrilling and addictive adventure, this debut tackles all my favorite vampire tropes and makes them new again by centering a steamy and heartwarming lesbian love story. Fans—and haters—of vampire books will find something to love in this stunning tale

Kamilah Cole, Lodestar Award finalist and bestselling author of the Divine Traitors duology

Thrilling and sexy, The Book of Blood and Roses is bringing vampires back in all the best ways, with a seductive, heartfelt sapphic romance at its core. Buffy Summers eat your heart out!

Georgia Summers, Sunday Times bestselling author of The City of Stardust

Vampires are so back—but this time, make them sapphic! Summerlee’s debut is dripping with blood, secrets, and enough forbidden desire to sink your teeth into. I relished every decadent bite and am clamoring for more

Catelyn Wilson, author of All The Devils

Intriguing from the first paragraph, Annie Summerlee weaves a thrilling, gasp-worthy, and totally irresistible mystery set at a university for vampires. Equal parts VAMPIRE ACADEMY meets BUFFY, this has kicked off my new obsession with the vampiric and reminded me just how addictive it is to read about these gothic monsters and the mortals they would kill for.
