Joy Jacobs: First Bite

A cigarette smoking, trash talking, tattooed woman named Joy Jacobs is a former hitwoman who has branched out into assassinating the supernatural. Today, she finds herself going after her first vampire nest, but before she can wage war against her new foes she must battle the most dangerous thing we all face: ourselves. This struggle within is caused by the monstrous challenge that awaits her. If Jacobs can't find the strength required to conquer this timeless enemy, then the impending vampire clash will be over before it begins. A failure that Joy will have to pay for in blood.
