The following is a list of the Dark Ones books, and how the characters are connected (if applicable). Please note that although the rights to some books have been returned to me, others remain with the publisher. That’s why the covers tend to vary from book to book.
A Girl’s Guide to Vampires
Dark Ones, Book 1
Originally published 2003; reissued Jan. 2011
Hero and Heroine: Raphael St. John and Joy Randall
Secondary Character: Christan Dante
Comments: Christian! Christian! Christian! I wrote him just for myself, but decided I would share with everyone. First mention of GothFaire and Miranda Ghetti, Francesca’s mother.

Hero and Heroine: Christian Dante and Allegra Telford
