Bloodkin

Six months before everything went wrong, seventeen-year-old Kelsey thought the worst part of moving to her father’s hometown would be leaving her old life behind. She was wrong. Cold Creek is a town wrapped in forest and silence, where people watch her too closely, whisper human and bloodkin like warnings, and pretend not to hear the howls that rise after dark. Her father won’t explain anything. Her grandparents set her on edge. And everyone else seems to know something she doesn’t. When Kelsey is drawn toward the one person she was warned to avoid, long-hidden truths begin to surface — unsettling, impossible to ignore, and nothing like the stories she grew up believing. Some secrets reshape everything. Some dangers don’t come from the woods. And wanting the wrong person might be the most dangerous choice of all.
