YA
After spending half her life in psychiatric institutions, Erin, a diagnosed schizophrenic, wants only to live normally, free of her violent alter ego, Shevaun. Trouble is, Shevaun’s real: she's a vampire with inexplicable ties to Erin's consciousness. Atwater-Rhodes's supernatural shadow-world contains intriguing complexities, which are only sketchily explored. Her characters, among whom Erin is the only true innocent, are darkly compelling.
