A Love like Blood
“Terrifying, thrilling, and relentless.”
Guardian (London)
The first novel for adults by hugely acclaimed YA writer Marcus Sedgwick is a gripping saga of love, revenge, and obsession-and vampires.
In 1944, just days after the liberation of Paris, Charles Jackson sees something horrific: a man in a dark tunnel, apparently drinking the blood of a murdered woman. Terrified, he does nothing, telling himself afterward that worse tragedies happen during war.
Seven years later he returns to the city-and sees the same man dining in the company of a fascinating, beautiful young woman. When they leave the restaurant, Charles decides to follow …
A Love like Blood is a dark, compelling thriller about how a man's life can change in a moment and about where the desire for truth-and revenge-can lead.
