The Blood Between Us

"This book will seem fresh to new readers for decades to come." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Family secrets turn deadly in this edgy page-turner about the insidious limits of labels and the ties that bind just a little too tightly, from theNew York Timesbestselling author of the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod.

Growing up, Adrien and his sister, Grace, competed viciously for everything. It wasnt easy being the adopted sibling, but Adrien tried to get along; it was Grace who didnt want anything to do with him. When their scientist parents died in a terrible lab fire, there was nothing left to hold them together.

Now, after years apart, Adrien and Grace are forced to reunite at the elite boarding school where their parents were teachers. Being back around everyone he used to know makes Adrien question the person hes become, while being back around Grace makes him feel like someone he doesnt want to be.

For as much as Adrien wants to move on, someone seems determined to reopen old wounds. And when Adrien starts to suspect that Grace knows more about their parents deaths than she let on, he realizes there are some wounds no amount of time can heal. If Adrien isnt careful, they may even kill him.
