A vampire secret binds two high-school opposites

Theo Fairgood’s polished standing and Kade Renfield’s outsider reputation put them on opposite sides of their school’s social divide. After a creature attacks Theo, Kade discovers that Theo has become a vampire—and that their connection involves addictive venom, an unusual reaction to touch, and a murder from the night of the attack. Their uneasy arrangement draws them into investigating who turned Theo and what is happening in their hometown. The first installment of a YA LGBTQ+ vampire romance trilogy, the book combines supernatural mysteries with a relationship shaped by dependence, secrecy, and the gap between public image and private character.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in vampire romance and supernatural mystery.
  • Readers seeking LGBTQ+ YA fiction centered on a relationship between two boys.
  • Those who enjoy stories built around forced proximity, secrets, and an uneasy alliance.

Book overview

"Just get your teeth in me already, blood boy. I have places to be."

 

Theo Fairgood is the golden boy. Popular, athletic, and determined to uphold his family's good name.

 

Kade Renfield is trouble. Black clothes, fast fists and a bad attitude. He's waiting for his grand story to start, but until then he's stuck chasing highs, crashing parties and snarling at anyone who stares.

 

They should only cross paths when Theo trips Kade in the halls.

 

But when Theo gets attacked by a horrifying creature at his own party, Kade is the only one who can drag him to safety. It turns out he shouldn't have Theo is fine. Bloodthirsty and, you know, dead - but otherwise fine.

 

Kade tries to stay away. But vampire venom is addictive, and Theo doesn't have anyone else who knows his thirsty secret. They grudgingly strike a Theo feeds on Kade. Kade gets the best high he's ever had and no withdrawal sweats. And since they're trapped together, they might as well team up and find out who turned Theo, who murdered an old man the night of the party, and why Theo's touch burns Kade but no one else.

 

As they unravel the mysteries of their strange hometown, the most startling discovery is that Kade is soft under all his spikes, and Theo can be gentle when he isn't around his jock friends. They might actually enjoy each other's company when Theo doesn't have his fangs in Kade's neck.

 

The golden boy and the town freak can't be together. They can't even be friends. But they're the only ones who can protect each other as their enemy's plans are revealed and the boys discover they're linked in ways they could never have imagined.

 

Blood Tethered is the first book in a LGBT vampire romance YA trilogy full of forced proximity, banter and blood-drinking.
