Bookseller recommendation
“Premise: vampirism as pandemic. Mia’s mom was turned to vampire before people even knew what was happening and Mia, to protect her mother, has spent her whole life taking care that no one knows their secret. In her twenties now, Mia’s life is circumscribed by her daily blood draws for her mother. When she meets a bon vivant musician, she finds she’s ready to take some risks for her own happiness. Less scary than empowering, the voice actor did a great job of keeping it suspenseful. ”

Bookseller recommendation
“Night's Edge, at it's surface, is a vampire-esque thriller. Dig a little deeper and you'll find the story of a complicated (and toxic) mother-daughter relationship, and the trauma that comes with loving someone who causes so much hurt. It's emotional, claustrophobic, raw, and gripping... I couldn't stop listening, and now I can't stop thinking about it. ”
— Nicole • Bound to Happen Books

“This one’s a killer.” —Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse
Liz Kerin’s Night’s Edge is a sun-drenched novel about the darkest secrets we hide and how monstrous we can be to the ones we love most.
Having a mom like Izzy meant Mia had to grow up fast. No extracurriculars, no inviting friends over, and definitely no dating. The most important rule: Tell no one of Izzy’s hunger – the kind only blood can satisfy.
But Mia is in her twenties now and longs for a life of her own. One where she doesn’t have to worry about anyone discovering their terrible secret, or breathing down her neck. When Mia meets rebellious musician Jade she dares to hope she’s found a way to leave her home – and her mom – behind.
It just might be Mia’s only chance of getting out alive.
“Night’s Edge is a gruesome and surprisingly heartfelt page-turner.”—Alexis Henderson, author of House of Hunger

Reviews
“Fascinating. A powerful, thoughtful, and all-too-real take on vampires that will ring true for abuse survivors and have everyone else jumping at shadows.” —Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Violence
"Night's Edge is a 'vampire next door' story that feels achingly human, set in a world both strangely alien and frighteningly familiar. So realistic you’ll swear it happened to someone you know.” —Scott Thomas, author of Kill Creek
“A heartbreaking story…. It grabbed me from the first page and held me tight until the end, leaving me breathless and fighting tears.” —Damien Angelica Walters, author of The Dead Girls Club and Cry Your Way Home
“Kerin’s complex and nuanced novel is immersive, bleak, and twisted. An emotional gauntlet which I really enjoyed.” —Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters
“A harrowing, electric, and wholly original take on vampires and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships. Night’s Edge is a gruesome and surprisingly heartfelt page-turner.” —Alexis Henderson, author of House of Hunger
“Night’s Edge is about vampires, yes. But it’s also about the kind of love we have for our mothers that pulls us apart, that makes us who we are, and the way in which we have to find our own path eventually, no matter how difficult—and potentially beautiful—that path might be. This one’s a killer.” —Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse
“A morally gray and timely story that is bursting with Sookie Stackhouse vibes but will also appeal to fans of Catriona Ward and Zoje Stage.” —Booklist
“Nuanced, dark, fun. Kerin’s novel is a thrilling exploration of the enmeshed mother-daughter relationship and what happens when we outgrow our family.” —Leslye Headland, co-creator of Russian Doll
"Incredible world building. A fresh and utterly engaging take on what it means to love a vampire, when the predator in question is your mother. Brilliant. I really loved it!" —S.A. Barnes, author of Dead Silence
“I read Night's Edge in two days and I’m jealous of anyone picking it up for the first time. Beware your heart; this book will make it race, make it stop, and ultimately break it to pieces.” —Jac Schaeffer, creator of WandaVision
