Laurel by Addison James
18+ Contains Adult Content
Laurel is a sapphic supernatural romance following Laurel, who is 900 years old. Laurel was tortured by a witch and was inadvertently made immortal. She tries not to get too close to anyone as she knows she will have to leave and start fresh in a new town, or else face questions about why she isn’t ageing. Laurel, against her will, becomes close to Callie; she tries not too but there is something so endearing about Callie that she can’t help herself. However, when she goes to Callie’s house for dinner and meets her husband, Blake Laurel is prepared to run as she has made it a rule to stay away from all supernatural beings, and she knows with one look in Blake’s eyes that he is a vampire. Laurel can’t run until she knows Callie is safe, but then she meets Blake’s twin sister, Blaire, and Laurel doesn’t want to run anymore. Maybe the supernatural world isn’t so bad after all…until the witch that tortured Laurel turns up. Now, Laurel needs to decide whether she runs far, far away or stays and fights for the love and friendship she has found.
It’s his eyes, though, that stop me in my tracks. They’re too bright. A brown that deep should never be that bright; I bet his eyes practically glow in the dark. They shine in a way that simply cannot be natural.
