Book 1

Dark Secrets

by Angela M Hudson

Published 12 May 2013

A dark but compelling vampire series for readers who want romance but also want something so much more: twists you won't see coming and events that make you question your own moral standing. 

First, this book is about love--about surviving heartbreak so shattering that you'd rather die than take another breath in this pain.

And second, it's about vampires and how the cult-like society they belong to destroys anyone who gets caught up in it.

When Ara-Rose loses her mother and moves across the world to live with her father, a dark history of secrets will slowly be uncovered--secrets that should have stayed buried. 

But secrets aren't the danger for Ara, because the vampire she falls in love with will destroy her in ways her family's past never could.

There will be pleasure. 

There will be pain. 

And in the end, caught up in a vengeful blood-feud, Ara's future will become a choice between the lesser of two evils. 
 
**Due to explicit language, some violence and sex scenes, this series is recommended for readers over 18**


Book 1.1

Tears of the Broken

by Angela M Hudson

Published 27 November 2011

"Powerfully integrated vampire series."

An epic romantic fantasy. The entire series is a journey to watch one girl grow and find that love is something you fight for, not a gift you can take for granted, combined with a sexy vampire and a deeper, darker mystery lurking underneath it all.

Vampires do not care about the myths people believe. They feed on humans, walk in the daylight, and no, they certainly do not sparkle. The only problem is, they don't usually fall in love with their food, either. But David Knight is about to discover that love knows nothing of morals or laws.

When Ara-Rose learns the truth about her boyfriend, David, she will be forced into a world of death and secrecy. Living each day on a path lit by predictability, Ara had never imagined such nightmares could exist. Now, her fate is measured by a choice between eternal love and a normal life, a decision she only has until the end of the summer to make.

Book 8

Heart of Darkness

by Angela M Hudson

Published 25 July 2019

Sometimes, mistakes kill people. 
  
You've heard of vampires and witches, and probably even necromancers. But you've never met anything like my family.
  
My name is Aubrey Knight, and my mother and father are vampires of different breeds. 
  
One kills humans, the other feeds on vampires. 
  
So it's safe to assume I'm not normal, never mind the fact that I can bring people back from the dead. 
  
Now, I'm forbidden to use my abilities, unless my parents want someone brought back.
  
But... what they don't know won't kill them, right?
  
Turns out, it actually can. 
  
And that death... it's kind of all my fault. 


Book 9

Underworld

by Angela M Hudson

Published 11 August 2019

Vampires, witches, and necromancers. 
          
The gripping final instalment of Dark Secrets, with a twist you won't see coming.   

No one knows where we go when we die.

But I do.

Life after death isn't something a mere mortal is supposed to know about. It's something we're aware of, but it's like a ghost. You see it from the corner of your eye but as soon as you turn your head, it's gone.

My world is much the same, but I'm going to show it to you and ask that you keep an open mind. Because the afterlife, for me, is not the good place.

It's the bad one.
