Blood Promise (The Vampire Way Book 2)

Rick Thompson and Laura Sanders have moved on to university yet Rick can barely recall the horrific events that nearly killed them both. Laura soon faces competition for Rick’s affection from a strange and direct yet beautiful young woman. All the while she receives harassing text messages and phone calls from an anonymous caller who knows the details of her and Rick’s past like no other. Ty and Jarrett, the couple they have befriended, face the very same horror. Last year’s terror rekindles as Rick and Laura fight to save their relationship and their mortal lives.

“An innovative approach to vampire nature and society in the context of a realistic drama of teenage love and loss”

–Margaret L. Carter, author of Dark Changeling and Different Blood: The Vampire As Alien on The Vampire Way

“. . .emotional and seductive . . . Clendening had me on the edge of me seat, squirming, longing guiltily for these same forbidden pleasures. Longing for this same love . . .”

–Terrie Leigh Relf, editor of HUNGUR on The Vampire Way



"It's an all-to-rare surprise and deligt, in the independent press, to discover writing as strong and evocative as Derek Clendenning's. This is a writer whose work I look forward to reading more of, and whose career I look forward to following."

Michael Rowe, author of Enter, Night
