description: To find out the truth and join with his Vampire mate, Blake may have to pay a steep price-his sanity. It's not that Blake Hollister doesn't want to be the mate of the town's resident hottie Vampire, Adam Harkin-just the opposite. With everything else in his life going to hell, that's the one thing that Blake wants more than anything. But fate has other ideas. Blake is Dormant, meaning his magical powers never manifested when he came of age, leaving him doomed to be forever connected with magic, but never able to access it. Sex between magical beings and non-magics is risky at first and becomes exponentially more dangerous, and Adam isn't willing to harm his mate, effectively pausing their relationship until some solution can be found. At the same time, darker things are manifesting in Kelvin. Secrets buried in the ruins of the town's old amusement park, Wonderworld, threaten to destroy the fragile peace. And when Blake finally convinces Adam to give sex a shot despite the risk, the destructive effects on his mind that he tries to hide threaten to drive him insane. Blake's once structured life begins to shatter-days turn into fractured memories of events he can't be sure really occurred, a broken slideshow of nightclubs, theme parks, and torrid sex. Dreams and reality, past and present, betrayal and loyalty are all on a collision course, and at the center stands the mercury-eyed fantasy whom Blake is beginning to think he might love-if the long-forgotten truth about Adam's brutal change from human to Vampire doesn't turn the entire town against each other first...
