By (author) McCaw, Amy
:
A PULSE-POUNDING RETELLING OF DRACULA SET AGAINST A DELICIOUSLY RETRO 1980s BACKDROP.
Mia and Johnny have always been there for each other – particularly since their father was revealed to be a serial killer and is now serving a life sentence for murdering thirteen people.
Studying in a small university town near Edinburgh, Mia”s coping mechanisms are hiding behind sarcasm, horror writing and her somewhat illegal true crime radio station, while Johnny steps up as her warm, sensitive brother and keeps her out of trouble.
But when journalist-wannabe Johnny accepts an offer he cannot refuse – the chance to interview a reclusive mega rock star who disappeared from public view three years ago, Mia finds herself stuck on campus when two male students are found dead.
As Johnny grapples with the enigmatic musician, he realises that something about the star”s nocturnal habits doesn”t quite add up. Meanwhile, Mia”s investigation takes her to the most unexpected places – including her dad”s prison…
An unmissable new YA novel from Booktuber and author of the Mina and the Undead trilogy, Amy McCaw –
perfect for fans of Cynthia Murphy and Kalynn Bayron.
