"Women bite back in this queer gothic thriller, perfect for fans of Interview with the Vampire and Plain Bad Heroines. It wasnt easy for Angela Bell growing up on Possession island, the remote Pacific Northwest setting of her late mothers wildly popular vampire novel. When she returns home from college and her estranged best friend, Mo, is murdered, shes forced to reckon with yet another loss-and finds herself in the crosshairs of the bungled police investigation. Sally Raleigh has longed to leave the island for years, but shes trapped by her fathers declining health and her devotion to her charismatic twin brother Adrian. The last thing she needs is her high-school nemesis Angela back in town. But Sally is also devastated by Mos death, and finds herself forging an unlikely alliance with her former enemy to find Mos killer. As Angie and Sally delve deeper into the islands sinister underbelly, they must confront just how far theyre willing to go to protect the people they love. And theyll soon find that the secrets theyve been keeping from each other wont stay buried for long.
