Urban-fantasy author Hope Ironsmith has officially completed the six-book Rose Cohen Vampire Series, wrapping a years-long arc that blended demon-tainted magic, clan politics, and a heroine who can do what vampires aren’t supposed to do: walk in daylight.
“Readers wanted a series that bites fast and never lets go,” Ironsmith said in a statement. “Rose starts the story terrified of what she’s becoming and ends it choosing exactly who she is—fangs, fire, and all.”
What Sets This Series Apart
- A day-walking twist: Rose Cohen’s sunlight immunity upends vampire power structures and paints a target on her back.
- Demon entanglements: Archdemons, possession, and moral trade-offs push the story beyond simple ‘good vs. evil’ lines.
- Clan and council chess: Mentors, rivals, and ancient movers—names like Morrigan and Krug—turn every alliance into a gamble.
- Found-family heartbeat: Gruff protectors, complicated friends, and ride-or-die loyalties anchor the high stakes.
The Reading Roadmap (Complete in 2025)
- The Daywalker and the Demon – Origin flames: fangs, sunlight, and a first brush with demon designs.
- Family Ties and Vampire Lies – Human family in the crosshairs; clan pressure skyrockets.
- The Politics of Night and Day – Council maneuvering and the cost of power in public view.
- The Artifacts of Evil – A bridge book where old grudges meet older magic.
- Deadly Little Secrets – Loyalties fracture; the demon’s endgame sharpens.
- Prehistoric Encounters of the Modern Vampire – Legacy, reckoning, and a finale built to echo.
“I wrote these to be bingeable,” Ironsmith said. “Short chapters, escalating reveals, and endings that reward readers who stick with the long game.”
