Book description
Night's Edge: A Fresh Take on Familial Monsters
Liz Kerin's debut novel sinks its teeth into familiar vampire territory and emerges with something surprisingly original. This isn't your typical supernatural romance or straightforward horror - it's a claustrophobic exploration of toxic family dynamics wrapped in genre clothing.
Mia's relationship with her blood-drinking mother Izzy creates an unsettling foundation that feels more psychologically twisted than any fanged villain. The real horror isn't in supernatural elements but in the suffocating control Izzy exerts over her daughter's life. No friends, no freedom, no future - just the constant threat of their shared secret exploding into violence.
Kerin's background in playwriting shows in the tight, dialogue-driven narrative that crackles with tension. The sun-soaked setting provides an ironic contrast to the darkness lurking beneath the surface. When Mia meets Jade, the promise of escape feels both liberating and dangerous.
The audiobook format particularly benefits from Kerin's sharp ear for voice and conversation. The intimate storytelling style pulls listeners into Mia's trapped existence before gradually expanding into something larger.
What sets this apart from vampire fiction's usual tropes is its focus on generational trauma and the ways we repeat our parents' worst behaviors. Mia's journey toward independence becomes a question of whether she can break free from becoming her mother.
A compelling listen that understands sometimes the most terrifying monsters are the ones who love us most.
