The Gravewood

Is it love… or is it bloodlust? The Gravewood is a darkly romantic vampire romance that explores disability, obsession, and the twisted limits of loyalty, from author Kelly Andrew. Shea Parker has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Gravewood, an impassable forest that's cut off her town from the rest of the world. With resources limited and supplies scarce, Shea is forced to carefully ration her hearing aid batteries. When her stash runs out, she'll be left in the silence. Desperate, Shea turns to the only person who can help—Oliver Lysander, the volatile leader of a vampiric gang that rules the Gravewood. Their arrangement starts off simply enough. She gives him her blood. He tracks down batteries. They don't cross any lines. They don't make it personal. But when Shea's best friend is lured into the Gravewood, her disappearance brings her older brother home from the frontlines. Asher Thorley is willing to do whatever it takes to find his sister, even if it means holding Shea's ugliest secrets over her head. Ever an opportunist, Lysander renegotiates the terms of their deal, but it may be the most dangerous one yet. Swallowed up in the dreamlike dark of the Gravewood and traveling in the company of killers, it isn't long before Shea risks becoming one herself.
