Biography[]

Turned at Dark[]

Della calls Holiday at the end of Turned at Dark to ask for help.

Born at Midnight[]

Holiday is the one who presents Kylie to the world of supernaturals when she tells her about their existence. Since no one knows what she is, Holiday tells her that she is put on a quest of self-discovery.

She later persuades Kylie to take two weeks to decide whether she wishes to leave the camp or to stay after finding out that both of her parents are fully humans.

She is also very hostile towards FRU agent, Burnett James, but decides to let him become her temporary assistant after her partner was arrested for treason.

Awake at Dawn[]

Holiday is initially quite upset with Kylie for telling Burnett about her past, and refuses to talk to her for a short while. However, when she hears that two girls have been murdered supernaturally, she immediately assumes the worst. For this reason, she puts aside her personal feelings.

She accepts Burnett's offer to invest in the camp and become her partner.

Taken at Dusk[]

Holiday's great aunt passes away, and she is absent from the camp to arrange her funeral.

She shows more affection towards Burnett but continues to keep at a distance. After working together to patch things up for Miranda and Perry, they both feel so excited by their success that they temporarily give in to their passion and kiss, until Kylie walks in on them.

When Burnett suddenly resigns himself, she questions his motives. He found out that she had at least four potential investors, but did not know that it was before she accepted his investment.

Whispers at Moonrise[]

Holiday's past is revealed in Whispers at Moonrise: she was previously engaged to a vampire named Blake, who cheated on her with her twin, Hannah Brandon. She found out via Kylie that Hannah had been murdered for months.

She becomes the next target for her twin's murderer, and almost dies before Kylie heals her. During her moment of death, her spirit conversed with her twin, made amends, and then she spoke with Kylie's grandmother, Heidi Summers, who told her not to be in the way of Kylie's choices.

She accepts Burnett's proposal and Kylie's resignation, but is hopeful that she will return.
