Blood. Family. Secrets. In the quiet suburbs, a mother's darkest instincts threaten to destroy everything she's built. Trish has spent centuries perfecting her disguise-the devoted wife, the caring mother, the ideal neighbor. But beneath her suburban facade lurks a bloodthirsty vampire struggling to contain her true nature. When a horrifying accident exposes her secret to Victoria, a college student who becomes an unwilling witness, Trish's carefully constructed world begins to collapse. Now suspicious neighbors circle closer, her husband Randel's trust wavers, and Victoria's desperate search for answers threatens everything Trish has worked to hide. As human and supernatural threats converge from unexpected directions, Trish faces an impossible choice: reveal the monster within or watch her family burn. Some secrets run deeper than blood. Some monsters are closer to home than she ever imagined. Monster is the second installment in K.T. Rose's supernatural thriller series. Perfect for readers who crave the domestic tension of Big Little Lies meets the dark mythology of Let the Right One In-a chilling exploration of maternal love, ancient hunger, and the lengths we'll go to protect those we love.
