Maxie Gwenoch as she takes the job of Managing Editor for SNAP
Magazine, the world's largest and most popular gossip media covering
celebrities around the globe.
First,
she finds the owners of SNAP are a family of Hungarian vampires, then
she discovers she's the reason for an escalating war between the
Kandeskys and their archrivals, the Huszars.
Book One, SNAP: The World Unfolds
SNAP, a multinational celeb TV show and magazine, is the holy grail for Maxie Gwenoch. When she snags the job as managing editor, she's looking for fame, fortune and Jimmy Choos. What she finds is a media empire owned by Baron Kandesky and his family. A family of vampires. They're European, urbane, wealthy and mesmerizing. And when she meets Jean-Louis, vampire and co-worker, she's a goner.
The
Kandesky vampire family rose in Hungary centuries ago. They gave up
violence and killing to make a killing on the world's commodities
markets and with that beginning they built SNAP, an international
celebrity multimedia empire. Now cultured...and having found food
substitutes for killing...they’ve cornered the world market for
celebrity and gossip journalism.
They
haven't fully left the past behind. Their Hungarian neighbors and
rival vampire clan, the Huszars are starting to ramp up attacks,
maybe looking to start a war to take over all the Kandeskys have
built.
Maxie
believes she's found her ultimate career. She doesn't realize that
she's found a family feud like none other, a centuries-old rivalry
between vampire families, with her as the linchpin. Bells ring with
Jean-Louis, but she doesn’t realize they’re alarm sirens until
she learns that Jean-Louis is second in command of the
Kandeskys...but by then it's too late.
Book Two, SNAP: New Talent
In the second book of the SNAP Kandesky vampire series, Maxie Gwenoch, media-savvy editor of the multinational celeb gossip magazine SNAP, is pummeled in Paris and kidnapped in Kiev as the Huszars ramp up the race to oust their centuries-old rivals, the Kandeskys.
SNAP's
owners, the Kandesky family of vampires, built the world's most
popular celeb coverage empire but this isn't just a business
take-over. These powerful vampire families lived with an uneasy peace
for four centuries until Maxie came in to boost SNAP's coverage and
started making inroads into the Huszar's traditional hunting
territories.
Although
Jean-Louis, Maxie's lover, vampire and second-in-command of the
Kandeskys, tries to keep her safe, Maxie is determined to do things
her way, a way that may lose her her job, her love and her
life.
This
is a new edition. It has been reformatted and contains
additional bonus material.
Book Three, Plague: A Love Story
The third book of the Kandesky Vampire Chronicles begins the saga of the family's start during the chaos of 14th century Hungary. When Stefan's wife and infant son die in a minor plague outbreak, he has nothing to live for, so Theron's turning him to a vampire is just a way out of his anguish.
Until
he takes over the estate of a merchant, recruits Jean-Louis to teach
him business and meets Lady Penelope Kandesky.
Plague
returns to Budapest and this time paves the way for Stefan to become
Baron Stefan Kandesky, a businessman who builds a trading empire with
the help of Jean-Louis and Pen.
Book Four, DANUBE: A Tale of Murder
The Kandesky management trio, Stefan, Jean-Louis and Pen, find themselves embroiled in a war with their rivals, the Huszars, which is bad for PR and bad for business, but after a judicious assassination they hammer out a pact.
This
fourth book of the Kandesky Vampire Chronicles tells of peace
agreements with their rivals and the growth of their
now-international business ventures.
It
also follows Jean-Louis as he meets and falls in love with a young
artist, Magda, who desires travel and adventure but never imagined
the world the Kandeskys inhabit
