About this ebook
A small town holds secrets beneath its tranquil façade and Kia is about to discover just how deep they go.
“Fans of Pete Hautman’s Sweetblood will exult in the . . . bizarre subculture and respond to the questions Kai’s intense experiences invite about the nature of true belonging.”—Booklist
When does escape become obsession?
Kia is searching for an escape. From her mother's cancer. From her father's apathy. From her own rage. The pressure is building. There's a craving in her veins, a secret urge. She needs a way to let the inside out. But she knows she must resist. She knows she must find another way.
When she becomes immersed in an underground scene—goths who live as vampires—Kia thinks she's finally found that way. At the center of everything is the sexy and mysterious Damon. With his otherworldly presence he pulls Kia deep into the night, into a world where the unbelievable can be believed. the unreal made real, until Kia herself can no longer draw the line.
