Official synopsis Publisher
“A surprisingly affecting tale of terror.” – Kirkus Reviews
Elodie Villeneuve has monsters in her family. When Bennet and Elodie first meet, the connection is immediate and intense. Both of them are trying to escape the shadows of their pasts, hoping to make sense of their lives in the present. Although they’re new to each other, their devotion runs deep. But the shadow that hangs over Elodie-the disturbing legacy of her lineage and the strange genetic condition that haunts it-cannot be ignored for long. Meeting the family of your significant other is never easy. For Bennet, it means coming face-to-face with a reality outside his understanding. His curiosity has led him to strange, sometimes dangerous places before, but never to the precipice where love and darkness meet, along the blurry line that divides people from monsters.
