April Vonn’s life was humming along predictably until she gave her boss a heart attack—literally. It turns out curses are real. Grappling with the demands of the curse—how often to feed it, how to feed it without killing people—and keeping her children safe prove to be a challenge. April may be a greater danger to her husband and kids than the killer roaming the streets of their Prairie Heights neighborhood. Can a person who controls people’s hearts and feeds on fear be a good mother? Should she follow in her own mother’s footsteps and abandon her family to protect them from her disturbing urges and abilities? These questions are put to the test when April is forced to confront a parent’s worst nightmare.

“Kristin Homer has readers losing sleep to find out just how far a mother will go to protect the ones she loves!”—Cam Torrens, award-winning author of Stable, False Summit, and Scorched

What readers are saying:

“A Taste for Fear has an overlay of normality that makes its heart-pounding drama that much scarier. April Vonn seems to be another tired suburban mom juggling a demanding job with carpool duties. Kristin Homer quickly dispels that notion, pulling the reader into a generation-spanning curse that threatens April's sanity, her family and their survival. One of the best aspects of Homer's work is her realistic portrayal of an ordinary life that evolves into one with unrecognizable challenges. A Taste for Fear is a vivid, fast-paced thriller with multi-layered characters, solid relationships, and lots of excitement.” —Carla Seyler, award-winning author of A Place Unmade
