A great horror story for Twilight fans, Your Blood, My Bones twists the enemies to lovers ( and vice versa) genre and makes it more complex than the ones I have read before.
Wyatt Westlock has one plan for the farmhouse she’s just inherited and that’s to burn it down. But when he arrives, she finds Peter, one of the two boys she grew up with, tied up by vines in the basement. This is just the latest in the series of ritualistic murders Peter has suffered from Wyatt’s family. Though she does not know the events, their entire childhood is tainted by these rituals. She also doesn’t know there is only one way for him to truly kill him—he must kill her. And Peter is ready to truly die. Can Wyatt and their childhood friend James save her life? Or is she fated to be killed by one of the men she loves?
This a great book for adult Twilight fans. While there isn’t a true triangle, the three main characters are embedded in each other. The immortal, the girl with secret powers, and the other guy is— I don’t want to spoil it. The biggest difference is that it is well written, Kelly Andrew does a few too many flashbacks with some holes but overall, the novel holds up well. I was pleased with the ending. It was emotional after the buildup as sacrifices were made. There is true horror in the book, something the Twilight Saga lacks. Each new chapter included something more frightening than before. The emotional and horror elements are balanced well.
This is a creepy story that looks at relationships, what life and death truly are, and how your memories don’t always tell the whole story. Your Blood, My Bones is a must for horror and supernatural fiction fans.
