words regarding the book, that would rock my world! Thanks for reading, and
beware of monsters…

Bloodlines
was an absolute trip to write, but
bringing a novel together takes an army, and I’m so grateful to the following
people for their help and encouragement:

My editor, Cassandra Marshall, for helping me fine tune
these pages and think through plot points in a whole new way.

My cover and interior layout designer, Glendon Haddix and
the Streetlight Graphics team, for a cover that totally gave me the creeps—in
the best way possible.

My amazing critique partners: Lindsay Buroker and J.R.
Hochman.

My tireless beta readers: Ryan Highley, Arthur Stewart and
Becca Andre.

The honorable Topher Tarrantino, for being an awesome fan of
Matt Archer.

My children, Tanner (who, I realized with a shock, is now
taller than me), and Alexandra (who’s growing into a lovely young lady right
before my eyes).

My husband, Ryan, who somehow always knows exactly what I
need, whether that’s a “write-cation” or a reminder that I just need to
breathe.

Finally, to you, the readers. This series has been an
incredible experience for me, and I can’t wait to share the final installment
with you. It’s going to be epic and although I’m really excited, I’m also a
little sad that we’ll soon come to the end. So, let’s send Mr. Archer and
Pentagram Strike Force out with a bang…

Kendra C. Highley lives in north Texas with her husband and
two children. She also serves as staff to two self-important and high-powered
cats. This, according to the cats, is her most crucial job. She believes
chocolate is a basic human right, running a 10k is harder than it sounds, and
that everyone should learn to drive a stick-shift. She loves monsters,
vacations, baking and listening to bad electronica.
