Blood Becoming: The Etched Crescent - Paperback

by Gail Waterhouse (Author)

The killings were only the beginning.

In London, a serial killer is leaving a signature no one can explain: victims marked with a single, chilling symbol, an etched crescent, carved into the skin. In the North East of England, a newly awakened hybrid, a halvyn, is addicted to the memories she draws from blood.

DCI Eleanor Moore uncovers a connection between the cases, one rooted in hunger, far older and more dangerous than she could have imagined. But the deeper she digs, the more she realises the answers may lie closer to home, in secrets her late husband kept, and truths he never lived to tell her. Those hidden for centuries are beginning to take notice. And they don't like what they see.

As the investigation pulls Eleanor closer to the truth, it also pulls her family into danger. Protecting them may mean risking everything she's fighting to uncover.

Blood Becoming: THE ETCHED CRESCENT is book two in the Blood Becoming series and is a gripping paranormal crime thriller set in 2046, in a world forever changed by a contaminated vaccine. As science collides with ancient secrets, Eleanor must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the people and the world she loves.
