About the book
'Terrifying and thrillingly romantic, this is horror romance at its absolute best: steamy, haunting, and sharp' Molly O'Sullivan, author of The Book of Autumn'Deliciously dark and romantically bloody, this is such an addictive tale' CG Drews, #1 NYT bestselling author of You Did Nothing Wrong and HazelthornThese violent delights have violent ends. After surviving a shadowed childhood marked by ghost stories and loss, Mallory Webb is ready to start fresh as a theater major at her mother’s alma mater, a sanitarium turned liberal arts university in Rhode Island. Landing the lead role in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet feels like a dream – until the blood-soaked spirit she suspects caused her mother’s death resurfaces after years of quiet. With nothing to go on but cryptic symbols in an old college notebook, Mallory hopes the reason behind her mother’s haunting lies somewhere on campus, and resolves to find answers before she meets the same fate. She’s surprised to make an unexpected ally in Ezra Pierce, the magnetic fourth-year directing the play, and takes solace in their undeniable chemistry. But Ezra is a master secret-keeper, and it’s clear he knows more than he’s letting on about Saskia Garin, Mallory’s elusive understudy whose past eerily mirrors her own. When an ancient, bloodthirsty evil calls to collect on a bargain that dates back to the New England vampire panic, Mallory, Ezra and Saskia will have to untangle the tragic ways in which their histories are linked – and face the devastating consequences of their own star-crossed love story.
