Haunting Celeste - Llianne Olivio

An English pianist falls hard for a Black saxophone player in the age of segregation—and loses his humanity the night a Vampire Goddess claims his life. Bound to Celeste’s bloodline for nearly a century, Julien lingers like a curse in a French Quarter house where ghosts remember everything, love turns feral, and women die young. This time, Celeste refuses to die without bleeding him dry. But when devotion curdles into obsession and immortality becomes a velvet-lined prison of shapeshifting friends and foes, the question sharpens its fangs: will she break the cycle—or be consumed by it? And can she dominate the morally black vampire who destroyed her mother and grandmother… or will he devour her last? Haunting Celeste is a Southern Gothic vampire rom com steeped in jazz, reincarnation, profanity, ancestral sin, and forbidden desire. CW and TW are available on the author's website.
