The Gravewood

Brought to you by Penguin.

IS IT LOVE . . . OR IS IT BLOODLUST?

Shea Parker has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Gravewood – a deadly forest that’s cut her town off from the world. With resources dwindling, she’s forced to ration her hearing aid batteries. When her stash runs out, she’ll be left in silence.

Her only hope is Oliver Lysander, the volatile leader of the vampires who rule the Gravewood. Their deal is simple: she gives him her blood, he brings her batteries. No lines crossed. Nothing personal.

Until Shea’s best friend is lured into the Gravewood, and her brother Asher Thorley returns from the frontlines, willing to expose Shea’s darkest secrets to get his sister back.

Ever the opportunist, Lysander offers a new bargain: if Asher kills his vampire rival, he’ll help find the missing girl. And if Shea agrees to Turn, he’ll cure her ailing mother.

But every deal pulls her closer to Lysander – and to becoming a monster herself.

From New York Times bestselling author Kelly Andrew comes a darkly romantic vampire romance that explores disability, obsession and the twisted limits of loyalty.

About Kelly Andrew

Kelly Andrew lost her hearing when she was four years old and she’s been dreaming up stories in the silence ever since. Andrew lives in New England with her husband and their two daughters (and a very grouchy Boston terrier). She has a BSW but received her Masters in English & Creative Writing. When she’s not writing, she enjoys obsessing over a good book, scouring flea markets for treasure, and getting intentionally lost in the woods. Andrew is the New York Times bestselling author of Your Blood, My Bones, as well as two interconnected horrors, The Whispering Dark and I Am Made of Death.
