Book Talk: The First Family with Granger
Featured Book

The First Family
Beneath Atlanta lies a hidden world of magic and murder known as the Underground. And its secrets won't stay buried forever . . . Namir was supposed to get close to Maggie Grey, the newest arrival to Atlanta's hidden magical HBCU, Drew Collins University. As a descendent of the legendary First Family, feared throughout the Underground, Maggie poses an existential threat to Namir's werewolf pack, even if she herself doesn't yet fully understand her own untapped power. But the closer Namir gets to the mysterious white-haired girl, the more his desire grows. When their night together is shattered by a student found dead and drained on Legacy Row, suspicion falls squarely on Maggie and her vampiric bloodline. As rumors swirl and secret alliances form, Namir's wolfpack begins to question his loyalty. Meanwhile, buried grudges and forbidden passions ripple across a campus that's already teetering on the edge of chaos. With each clue in the case of the Legacy Row murder leading to more questions than answers, Maggie can't help but wonder: Was she the intended victim? Or is someone trying to set her up . . . ? And why are the powers that be so desperate to silence the truth?
