Vanessa Len schrijft YA-fantasyverhalen over moreel ambigue helden, monsters en vijanden die misschien wel verliefd worden. Haar verhalen duiken in de complexe wisselwerking tussen goed en kwaad, waarbij personages vaak in uitdagende situaties terechtkomen waarin de grenzen vervagen. Ze onderzoekt de diepten van emotie, met name hoe affectie kan ontstaan tussen degenen die voorbestemd zijn om tegenstanders te zijn, en creëert verhalen vol spanning en onverwachte verbindingen.

In every story there is a hero and a monster. 'Mind-bending, heart wrenching, and unputdownable!' STEPHANIE GARBER It should have been the perfect summer. Sent to stay with her eccentric family in London, Joan is determined to enjoy herself. She loves her job at the historic Holland House, and when her co-worker Nick asks her on a date, it feels like everything is falling into place. Then Joan learns the truth. Her family aren't just eccentric: they're monsters, with terrifying, hidden powers. And Nick isn't just a cute boy: he's a legendary monster slayer, who will do anything to bring them down. To save herself and her family, Joan will have to do what she fears most: embrace her own monstrousness. Because in this story . . . she is not the hero.
