About this Event

Steffanie Holmes' Book Launch of 'A Grave Mistake'.

The second book in The Nevermore M**der Club & Smutty Book Coven series.
Interconnected standalone seriesabout the members of a supernatural book club finding their happily-ever-afters in a small town infested with vampires. Set in the same world as the Nevermore Bookshop, but eight years after.
Steffanie Holmes is a USA TODAY bestselling author of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and supernatural mysteries. Her books feature clever, witty heroines, dark and gothy settings, cunning witches, and a dash of sadistic humour.
A Grave Mistakeis the second book in The Nevermore M**der Club & Smutty Book Coven series, followingFangs for Nothing. This cosy paranormal romance blends enemy vampires who were once lovers, a meddling book club, a M**der mystery, and more tea than should be legal, all with darkly witty, vampy charm.
Arabella Lestrange was once the most notorious dancer in Paris’ underground vampire cabaret, until she fell for a human, Gideon Blake, and he ruined her afterlife. She fled certain he wouldn’t survive long… only to encounter him 150 years later, newly undead and just as infuriatingly charming. It’s a story of revenge, romance, immortality, and meddling friends - all with a darkly witty twist.
This is a second-chance romance with the first romance happening in 18th-century Belle Epoque Paris, where the heroine is a pole dancer at a vampire cabaret (Le Petite Mort). Which means the launch needs a stage worthy of vampires and pole dancers alike...
