Bloodkin

What do you do when your blood makes you prey and your scent makes you the most dangerous thing in town?

***
Six months before everything went wrong, seventeen-year-old Kelsey thought the worst part of moving to her father's hometown would be awkward family dinners and small town boredom.
She was wrong.

Cold Creek is nothing like she expected - a quiet forest town where people stare too long, whisper bloodkin like a curse, and act as if they're waiting for her to slip.
Her father won't tell her why. Her grandparents avoid the truth.
And the woods surrounding the town feel alive in a way that feels wrong.

When Kelsey crosses paths with the one boy she was warned to avoid, everything fractures.
The town's rules, her family's secrets. Even her own sense of safety.

Because the danger in Cold Creek doesn't just hunt in the shadows.
it watches her.
It reacts to her.
And it's getting harder to tell whether she's the target...
or the spark that could set the whole town on fire.

Some secrets rewrite everything you thought you knew.
Some instincts can't be ignored.
And wanting the wrong person might be the most dangerous choice of all.
