    Summary

    For Adam Parrish, his first semester at college was mostly enjoyable, but it was only a matter of time before he found something he didn’t enjoy at all.

    And in the middle of October, he found it.

    Group projects.

     

    When Adam Parrish is paired with Ronan Lynch for a group project in their Latin class, he knows Ronan is going to be difficult to work with. Adam just doesn't anticipate how difficult.

    Summary

    The first time it happened, it wasn’t Adam’s fault, or that’s what he told himself much later when he understood what he’d done and what caused it.

    No one had ever been nice to him before. No one had ever held him or rocked him or told him it was okay. Maybe if someone had, he wouldn’t have done it.

    Maybe his parents weren’t nice to him because they knew what he would do if they were.

    Adam Parrish doesn't choose to devour people who are nice to him. In fact, he hates himself for it. But when he finds another boy who shares the same type of hunger, Adam realizes that maybe being hungry isn't all that bad.

    Summary

    They meet once, and then the world goes to hell.

     

    Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish meet in person exactly once, but the three nights they get together turn into something much, much more. While a pandemic, natural disasters, and collapsing economies bring the world down around them, they manage to give a fledgling digital relationship wings. But those wings are abruptly clipped when everything goes dark just after Adam tells Ronan how he feels.

    Ronan will do anything to make sure Adam knows he feels the same. So he does the only thing he can to get to the man he loves.

    He walks.

    Summary

    Adam Parrish and Ronan Lynch have settled into a quiet, domestic life at the Barns. They cook dinner together. They binge watch sitcoms. They even adopt a cat, Opal.

    When Opal doesn't come back to the farmhouse the night of the full moon, Ronan goes out to look for her. But when Opal comes home and Ronan doesn't, Adam has to go look for Ronan.

    And when Adam finds him, he finds Ronan's been bitten.

    It's not until the next full moon that they find out what bit Ronan, but when they do, they have a little bit of a problem.

    Adam's allergic to dogs, and by extension, werewolves.

    Summary

    The Adam Ronan crouched in front of now made Ronan’s heart want to implode. He wasn’t beat up, bruised, or bloody, things Ronan could clean up, soothe, or bandage. This Adam was worn. Weak. Gaunter than his usual gauntness, thin as a rail, his deep-set eyes further sunk. There was no trace of the tan from their summer at the Barns that had still lingered the last time Ronan saw Adam face-to-face.

    Ronan didn’t know exactly how long Adam’s soul had been away from his body, how long he’d been trapped in the Lace while Nathan Farooq-Lane held his physical body captive, but Ronan did know there wasn’t a quick fix for days and days without food, without water. It would take more than a single good meal, whatever pizza, Chinese, or Indian Jordan and Hennessy brought back, to put meat back on Adam's bones. It would take time to figure out what bits and pieces of Adam Parrish Hennessy hadn’t been able to collect and squish back into his consciousness.

    But Ronan would be there for it all, whether it was there in Boston or back at the Barns or anywhere.

    Two boys being soft after avoiding the end of the world.
