About this listen

My secrets are infested with infatuation. His cravings are dripping in blood. Is it love? Or is it something much darker . . . An obsession. Death found me as a young girl. Latching onto the core of my soul. No one knows what that horrid night did to me. What kind of monster it flourished inside me. I'd become a ghost, hiding from the world so that people would never find out about the morbid desire I harbor. Until he noticed me. Thatcher Alexander Pierson: Cunning. Sharp. Beautiful. A man bred from the seed of a serial killer. Stitched together with old money and Dolce & Gabbana clothing. He is my strongest fixation. My sweetest, darkest addiction. And I'm his phantom. I have haunted him my entire life and now? He sees me for exactly what I am. A killer. I sicken him. But he has always mesmerized me.

When a copycat murderer prowls among the trees of Ponderosa Springs, our loyalty is tested. It had been foolish of us to believe our revenge would go unpunished. That the town wouldn't retaliate after what we did. With our lives hanging in the balance, Thatcher and I have no choice but to coexist. In the twilight of musty cabins and haunted library towers, my somber secrets are exposed, and his cravings are revealed. So the question is . . . What is love without obsession?

Contains mature themes.

What listeners say about The Blood We Crave

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook, Part Of The Interconnected "the Hollow Boys" Series, Follows The Dark And Twisted Story Of Thatcher And Lyra, A Psychopathic Serial Killer And A Stalker, Respectively. The Gripping Storyline, Captivating Plot, And Intriguing Characters Are Widely Praised, With Listeners Finding The Suspenseful Narrative And Cliffhanger Ending Highly Engaging. However, Some Criticize The Excessive Inner Monologues, Slow Pacing At Times, And The Abrupt Ending. Overall, The Audiobook Delves Into The Themes Of Psychological Thrillers, Serial Killers, Stalkers, Dark Romance, And Mystery, Leaving Listeners Eager For The Next Installment.

OMGGG THE PLOT

This book was SO GOOD. I’m obsessed with the plot line through Thatcher & Lyra’s story. I can’t wait to start part 2.

The story is so good

This might be my favorite Hollow Boys book so far. The female voice actor is a little robot-ish, but other than that it’s perfect.

Amazing voice actors

The narrators did a great job especially Grayson Owens, he really gave life to his character. Great story too. This book has too much inner monologue that’s just what irritated me but I just could not stop now. I’m too invested.

LOVE

“𝙈𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙢. 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙙𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙄’𝙢 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪.”

Thatcher & Lyra might be my new favorite....immediately jumping into the next book because holy cliffhanger!! This is definitely darker than the first two books, but I'd expect nothing else with these two. And I've eaten up every dark, twisted, and bloody moment so far! There is not a single thing about this book that I'm not absolutely in love with and I need more.

What to expect:
-Touch her and die
-Serial unaliver x stalker
-Revenge
-Knife play
-Blood play

PERFECT NARRATION

When the narrators are so good you forget its dual.... yeah. This is IT. Grayson and Lucy did AMAZING. They gave each characters their own voice to the point you don't even have to know who was speaking to know.

Thatcher and Lyra's story really surprised me!! i was not expecting all this from quiet little shy lyra!

The ending shattered me. So many tears for these characters!

🖤🖤🖤

The Blood We Crave is the 3rd book in The Hollow Boys interconnected series. Highly recommend you reading the two prior as the plot continues in this book but now we get an inside look of Lyra and Thatcher. After meeting each other one devastating night their path is forever tethered to each other. While most people are afraid of Thatcher, Lyra is obsessed and enchanted by him. But Thatcher has conflicting feelings and an urge to both kill and possessed Lyra. The suspense, mystery and angst was so good, but that cliffhanger was very unexpected. Luckily part two should be coming out shortly after the release of part one.

Cliff hanger so bloody good

What can I say? I’m blood thirsty and this book has quenched my thirst. So deliciously good! I’m obsessed with Hollow Boys! I’ve read and listened to these books in record time.

I didn’t think I was into blood until…

Although I’m bummed to realize this story is split into 2 books, Thatch & Lyra’s story is by far my favorite in this series! Their characters are so complex - my heart ached for them.

Grayson Owens narration of Thatcher makes him leap out of the story and grab hold of you from start to finish. Lucy Rivers brings a level of excitement to the adorable bug girl, that is Lyra.

I only wish this was duet narration - I’m not a fan of Lucy’s male voices, but great story nonetheless. Will be purchasing the 2nd part in paperback!
