Books like In the forests of the night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Risika, born Rachel Weatere in 1684, was renamed and transformed into a vampire under a mysterious force she never asked about. By day she roams the quiet rooms of Concord, Massachusetts, and by night she prowls the streets of New York City, used to solitude. A black rose, a symbol of the curse that struck her centuries ago, appears in her path, revealing that someone is tracking her and that her long‑forgotten family—a brother and sister she loved—have resurfaced to haunt her. The story follows her struggle to reconcile her former human life with her new vampiric powers and the shadows of the past that now pursue her.
