Liz Kerin‘s Night’s Edge is a gripping novel explores the darker aspects of relationships and the lengths we’ll go to protect our loved ones. From the very first page, you’ll be hooked on this gruesome and heartfelt tale.
Night’s Edge tells the story of Mia, a young woman who has grown up with a secret she can’t share with anyone. Her mother Izzy is a vampire with an insatiable hunger for blood. Mia has spent her entire life keeping her mother’s secret and living in fear of discovery. But when she meets Jade, a rebellious musician who offers her a chance at freedom, Mia begins to hope for a life beyond her mother’s grasp.
The characters in Night’s Edge are fully realized and complex. Mia is torn between her love for Izzy and her desire for independence. Izzy herself is both terrifying in her hunger and sympathetic in her love for her daughter. And Jade brings a sense of danger and excitement into Mia’s life that she has never experienced before. You’ll find yourself rooting for these characters even as they make difficult choices.
What sets Night’s Edge apart from some other vampire stories is its exploration of relationships. Yes, there are plenty of heart-pumping action scenes, but at its core, this book is about love – both familial and romantic. Kerin masterfully weaves together themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal to create a story that will tug at your heartstrings.
We highly recommend Night’s Edge, coming from someone who has never really liked vampire stories. Liz Kerin has created a world that feels both terrifyingly real and fantastical at the same time. The characters are complex and relatable, and the themes of love, sacrifice, and betrayal will keep you turning pages until the very end.
The story continues with the sequel First Light hitting bookstores on April 23, 2024. Kerin will join the Capes and Tights Podcast on March 6 to discuss the book series.
Night’s Edge is available at bookstores everywhere. The audiobook narrated by Chase Sui Wonders is available on Libro.fm which supports local bookstores.
