BAD TO THE BONE ย Vampire thief Raylene Pendle doesnโt need more complications in her life. Her Seattle home is already overrun by a band of misfits, including Ian Stott, a blind vampire, and Adrian deJesus, an ex-Navy SEAL/drag queen. But Raylene still canโt resist an old palโs request: seek out and steal a bizarre set of artifacts. Also on the hunt is a brilliant but certifiably crazy sorceress determined to stomp anyone who gets in her way. But Rayleneโs biggest problem is that the death of Ianโs vaunted patriarch appears to have made him the next target of some blood-sucking sociopaths.ย Now Raylene must snatch up the potent relics, solve a murder, and keep Ian safeโall while fending off a psychotic sorceress. But at least she wonโt be alone. A girl could do a lot worse for a partner than an ass-kicking drag queenโright?
