Jennifer has kicked her long time drug habit, but temptation is great as she's living with her drug dealing boyfriend, Tony.In desperation, she flees Tony and his druggie friends and camps out in the woods. She's estranged from her family and has nowhere to go.Her neighbor, Ebony, from across the street, happens upon her and they form a tentative friendship.It's difficult for either woman to trust anyone, or themselves, as they both have baggage.Jennifer is fighting her soul-eating craving for drugs and Ebony is fighting her craving to not drink Jennifer dry.Two damaged women with no one to turn to but each other.This book reads like a serial episode on TV.You know before you start reading it,  it's going to be short and leave you hanging.That didn't bother me, as I've read another of the authors books and loved her writing.This book is a dark, psychological read about hope, friendship, and overcoming huge adversities.I was immediately drawn to Ebony and Jennifer. These flawed characters are genuine and my heart went out to them.Sure, ones an ex-addict and the other is a vicious vampire, but you forget that somewhat as you learn what makes them tick.The town of Blackcross has its secrets and something evil is coming.There's no shortage of suspense and the horror jumps out and says Boo!A great beginning to this series and excited to read more, for sure!I hear Part II will be available later in May.
