Description
In the sleepy town of Pine Hollow, the Parker family seems picture-perfect: John, a former military man turned mechanic, and Leah, a local high school counselor, have just adopted three teenagers in an act of compassion and love. Each child comes from a dark, fractured past-yet none of them realize they're bound together by fate far more sinister than coincidence. There's Angie, beautiful, mysterious, with a hunger she can't explain. Her memories are shadows, her strength unnatural, and every night the thirst grows. Then there's Simon, quiet, brooding, plagued by violent dreams and a bloodline that howls in his veins. Found near a massacre site and raised by nuns, he doesn't know he's the last of a werewolf pack exterminated in a secret war. And finally, Jervis, the golden boy with no powers, no trauma-just the biological son of the Parkers' late best friends. Smart, loyal, grounded. But in a house haunted by secrets and primal instincts, being normal might be the most dangerous thing of all. As the trio enters Pine Hollow High, strange events unravel: mutilated animals, missing students, strange dreams, and a mysterious old man watching from the woods. When Angie's urges awaken during a blood drive, and Simon begins transforming under the full moon, everything explodes. And someone-maybe even Jervis-is hiding a truth that will turn their already fragile new family into either a pack... or prey. But Pine Hollow has deeper roots. The town was built on something ancient. And someone is hunting them all.
