Description
The Thirst Within: Betrayal
Book Three of the "It's In The Blood" Series
The greatest threat doesn't come from the shadows outside... but from the family within.
The DeClue family thought the nightmares were finally under control. They were wrong. A new darkness has entered their household in the form of Angel, a teenage cousin under a lifelong curse that leaves him trapped in the body of a ten-year-old. While he appears innocent, Angel carries generational secrets that could destroy everyone he touches.
As twin babies Macaulay and Dawndee arrive, bringing a flickering light of joy to Malachi and Ronnie, an ancient evil is stirring with renewed purpose. Miguel Sanchez, the monstrous ancestor executed in the 1800s for his horrific crimes, has found a way to reach beyond the grave. He is no longer content to haunt their dreams; he is reaching into the waking world, and his newest pawn is closer than anyone suspects.
When a family friend is found dead under mysterious circumstances, Malachi, Ronnie, and Eddie must confront an impossible question: Is there a traitor in their midst?
Amidst the growing paranoia, young Tommy Russle discovers the family's dark secret and chooses to embrace it, forging a bond with Lucifer that will alter both their destinies forever. But as tragedy strikes and violent outbursts escalate, the family is forced to make an unthinkable choice-one that will echo through eternity. In a world where every vampire's death leaves a final, lethal "Death Wish," the price of betrayal may be more than any of them can pay.

Person
Christopher Lee Roeters is a prolific full-time author whose extraordinary life journey shapes the vivid worlds, deep resilience, and profound empathy found across his 15 published books. From the rural towns of Michigan to the freezing, remote edge of Kotzebue, Alaska, Christopher has lived a life defined by survival, service, and an unwavering dedication to truth.As a former first responder and EMT in Northern Alaska, Christopher experienced the raw, life-or-death realities of the wilderness firsthand-experiences that ground his gripping medical memoirs and fuel the high-stakes action of his science fiction and urban fantasy series. His profound, twenty-year dedication to theological research and biblical studies further enriches his writing, allowing him to seamlessly bridge ancient history, global prophecy, and modern world affairs into definitive reference timelines.Writing full-time from his home in Michigan while navigating the personal challenges of cerebral palsy and a history of chronic illness, Christopher uses his craft to explore universal themes of found family, brotherhood, equality, and the triumphant power of the human spirit. Whether crafting high-octane cyborg thrillers, deep gothic vampire sagas, or raw autobiographical accounts, his stories serve as a powerful reminder that even in the deepest darkness, light can always be found.When he isn't expanding his multi-genre literary universe, Christopher composes original music and lyrics tied directly to his books, offering readers an interactive, multi-sensory backstage pass to his worlds.
