The Family Condition - Cody Lakin

\nA tale of fathomless desire, dark curiosity, and the horror people are capable of when given the power to dehumanize others, this is a book that asks vital questions about family, accountability, and the resilience of love, which will stay with you long after the read concludes. (SPR) Elodie Villeneuve has monsters in her family. When Bennett and Elodie first meet, the connection is immediate and intense. Both of them are trying to escape the shadows of their pasts, hoping to make sense of their lives in the present. Although they're new to each other, their devotion runs deep. But the shadow that hangs over Elodie-the disturbing legacy of her lineage-cannot be ignored for long. Meeting the family of your significant other is never easy. For Bennett, it means coming face-to-face with a reality outside his understanding. His curiosity has led him to strange, sometimes dangerous places before, but never to the precipice where love and darkness meet, along the blurry line that divides people from monsters.
