From the author of Fault Line comes an edgy and heartbreaking novel about two self-destructive teens in a Sid and Nancy–like romance full of passion, chaos, and dyed hair. Seventeen-year-old Amelia Gannon (just “Gannon” to her friends) is invisible to almost everyone in her life. To her parents, to her teachers—even her best friend, who is more interested in bumming cigarettes than bonding. Some days the only way Gannon knows she is real is by carving bloody lines into the flesh of her stomach. Then she meets Michael Brooks, and for the first time, she feels like she is being seen to the core of her being. Obnoxious, controlling, damaged, and addictive, he inserts himself into her life until all her scars are exposed. Each moment together is a passionate, painful relief. But as the relationship deepens, Gannon starts to feel as if she’s standing at the foot of a dam about to burst. She’s given up everything and everyone in her life for him, but somehow nothing is enough for Brooks—until he poses the ultimate test. Bleed Like Me is a piercing, intimate portrayal of the danger of a love so obsessive it becomes its own biggest threat.

She's standing at the front door. Covered in blood. Is she the victim of a crime? Or the perpetrator? A teenage girl--Sienna, a troubled friend of his daughter--comes to Joe O'Loughlin's door one night. She is terrorized, incoherent-and covered in blood. The police find Sienna's father, a celebrated former cop, murdered in the home he shared with Sienna. Tests confirm that it's his blood on Sienna. She says she remembers nothing. Joe O'Loughlin is a psychologist with troubles of his own. His marriage is coming to an end and his daughter will barely speak to him. He tries to help Sienna, hoping that if he succeeds it will win back his daughter's affection. But Sienna is unreachable, unable to mourn her father's death or to explain it. Investigators take aim at Sienna. O'Loughlin senses something different is happening, something subterranean and terrifying to Sienna. It may be something in her mind. Or it may be something real. Someone real. Someone capable of the most grim and gruesome murder, and willing to kill again if anyone gets too close. His newest thriller is further evidence that Michael Robotham is, as David Baldacci has said, "the real deal--we only hope he will write faster."

I thought nothing could be worse than being fated to the Fae men who killed my parents, who saved me from being hunted down by a group of werewolves. I was so wrong. Forced back home with them, I became their prisoner. Tortured by their recruits. My life went from one nightmare into another, until they claimed me. They forced a bond on me that I didn’t want. Or so I thought. I’m fated to be theirs, to help strengthen them and their magic. But instead, I found my own strength. First, I tempted darkness, and now I've got a taste for it, there is nothing more addictive. They're becoming an addiction I don't want to kick. Little did they know, I was fast becoming theirs. With our bonds forged they can no longer decide if they hate me or love me. Maybe both, but now they'll see I can give as good as I can take. And taking is exactly what I plan on doing. Taking their magic and their hearts. If they're lucky, I won't break them the way they tried to break me because now they're realizing what true power is, and I hold it all. I am their keeper. Keeper of their power. Keeper of their darkest secrets. But more importantly, keeper of their souls.
