Story Notes

Summary

Crestwood was supposed to be the quiet chapter of Evan Angelo's life — patrol shifts, a detective title he was determined to earn, and nothing stranger than a suspiciously competitive pie contest. Then the Blood Moon rose. His best friend vanished into the tree line without a trace. Four impossibly composed federal agents arrived with a cover story that falls apart under the first real question. Evan doesn't believe in monsters — he's spent his career explaining away the things that don't add up. But something followed him out of those woods. Something is leaving bodies behind with black feathers where their hearts should be. And every time the agency's ice-cold commander looks at him, Evan can feel the man trying — and failing — to read him, like a language no one's ever spoken before. He doesn't know his blood is the answer to a war older than Crestwood itself. He doesn't know the people protecting him are hiding the one truth that could unmake him. All he knows: his best friend is still missing, something ancient is hunting in the dark, and the deeper he digs, the more this feels like a life he was always meant to walk back into. A slow-burn paranormal romance about the cost of being unreadable, the terror of finally being seen, and what happens when the thing that made you unlovable turns out to be the thing that saves everyone.
