Do you love werewolves?
Is so this is the perfect story for you. It’s a novella of a family who’s life changed to worse when their son got stuck with anemia. They never expected that the anemia would be the highlight to the darkness that was to come. This family meets three friends in a very unexpected way. This is when the plot twist comes into play and it makes the story complete. This is a supernatural story. I recommend this read for YA up. There is gore and violence but it’s not detailed in a way that dark genre books are.
