As Mallory Webb searches for answers about her mother’s mysterious death, she finds herself drawn to the magnetic director of her college’s production of Romeo and Juliet, only to uncover a chilling connection between their pasts and a centuries-old bargain tied to New England vampire lore.

ABOUT SHE HAUNTS ME STILL
These violent delights have violent ends.
After surviving a shadowed childhood marked by ghost stories and loss, Mallory Webb is ready to start fresh as a theater major at her mother’s alma mater, a sanitarium turned liberal arts university in Rhode Island. Landing the lead role in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet feels like a dream—until the blood-soaked spirit she suspects caused her mother’s death resurfaces after years of quiet. With nothing to go on but cryptic symbols in an old college notebook, Mallory hopes the reason behind her mother’s haunting lies somewhere on campus, and resolves to find answers before she meets the same fate.
She’s surprised to make an unexpected ally in Ezra Pierce, the magnetic fourth year directing the play, and takes solace in their undeniable chemistry. But Ezra is a master secret-keeper, and it’s clear he knows more than he’s letting on about Saskia Garin, Mallory’s elusive understudy whose past eerily mirrors her own.
When an ancient, bloodthirsty evil calls to collect on a bargain that dates back to the New England vampire panic, Mallory, Ezra, and Saskia will have to untangle the tragic ways in which their histories are linked—and face the devastating consequences of their own star-crossed love story.
ABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER
Kelly Andrew is the international bestselling author of The Gravewood and Your Blood, My Bones. A reader once said Andrew's books read like she's writing them from inside a Hot Topic, and as a reformed mall goth she feels like this is the most accurate summary of her body of work. Andrew lives in New England with her husband and their two daughters (and a very grouchy Boston Terrier). She has a BSW, but received her Masters in English & Creative Writing. When she’s not writing, she enjoys obsessing over a good book, scouring flea markets for treasure, and getting intentionally lost in the woods.
