Deze auteur duikt in het spectrale en het monsterlijke, en verkent de griezelige verschijnselen die 's nachts de kop opsteken. Haar werk is doordrenkt van een unieke Canadese sfeer, waarbij vaak zombie metaforen worden gebruikt om de menselijke conditie te belichten. Als toegewijde fangirl van YA en SFF waardeert ze verhalen die lachen, tranen of een heerlijke rilling oproepen. Ze voelt zich aangetrokken tot verhalen met een tot nadenken stemmende, bovennatuurlijke inslag die veel aan de verbeelding overlaten.
Sixteen-year-old Skye must confront her most savage secrets to save her missing thirteen-year-old sister, Deirdre, from stick-and-bone monsters that have come to life in the woods behind their new home.
From the author of Here There Are Monsters comes a chilling supernatural horror that is part terrifying vampire legend and part modern exploration of toxic relationships wrapped up in a novel about hunger, yearning, and loss. After the sudden death of her perfect, popular older sister, Jo and her family feel empty. But days after crying at Audrey's graveside, Jo stumbles on the impossible: Audrey, standing barefoot in the snowy backyard. But Audrey isn't breathing. She's still marred with the evidence of an autopsy. She's decaying. And worst of all, Audrey is hungry, and only human blood can curb her relentless appetite. Jo knows she can put her family back together; she just has to figure out how to fix Audrey. She hides her sister and sustains her with her own blood, determined to figure out how to keep Audrey with them. When her search takes her to her sister's grieving inner circle of friends, Jo finds herself drawn into their fold--and to Audrey's boyfriend, Sam. As Jo slips further into her sister's old life, Audrey's hunger and jealousy grow more insatiable. She's not going to sit back and let Jo replace her or, worse, discover the secrets hidden beneath her golden girl facade. As Jo struggles to juggle everything she will be forced to decide which of her loved ones needs her the most --and who she's willing to sacrifice to save them.
