His dad’s a serial killer. What if he’s one, too?
For seventeen years Jed Franklin’s life is normal. Until his dad is charged with the murder of four young boys.
Then, normal becomes a nightmare.
His mom’s checked out, he’s lost most of his friends, and the press camps out on his lawn. If it wasn’t for the alcohol he keeps stashed in his room, he’d go insane.
But after he wakes up from a total blackout to discover a local kid has gone missing—a kid he was last seen talking to—he’s forced to face his greatest fear: that he could somehow be responsible.
In a life that’s spiralling out of control, Jed must decide if he chooses his own destiny, or if the violent urges that plagued his father are truly in the blood.
In The Blood is the first in a series of standalone novels. If you like your young adult books dark, gritty and real, then you’ll love Sara Hantz’ engrossing ripped-from-the-headlines story.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
