Blood Like Ours

In the forgotten town of Wrenwood—where fog clings like a curse and secrets rot just beneath the surface—Cleo Novak’s life has always been about survival. Don’t ask questions. Don’t look too closely. Don’t let the dark look back. Then Arden Vale arrives. Strange, silent, and wrong in ways Cleo can’t name, Arden sees right through her—and Cleo can’t look away. What begins as an unsettling pull becomes a dangerous, intoxicating bond. Notes appear in Cleo’s locker. Footsteps follow her after school. And blood begins to stain the snow. As hunters close in and ancient forces awaken beneath Wrenwood’s skin, Cleo discovers that Arden is no girl at all, but a vampire bound by hunger, grief, and a past full of ghosts. Loving her means becoming a target. Saving her means stepping into a darkness older than gods. When Cleo’s own soul starts to fracture and something monstrous calls her by name, she’ll have to choose: cling to the fragile human she once was—or become something powerful enough to protect the only person she’s ever truly loved. A gothic, slow-burning, blood-soaked romance, Blood Like Ours is a tale of devotion, transformation, and two girls willing to tear the world open before they ever let go of each other.
