About this ebook

Everyone hungers for something…

Running from a violent past and desperate for a fresh start, Cara Jennings is relieved when she’s offered a position at the mysterious Nysa Grove School.

Nestled among wild gardens and steeped in rustic, otherworldly beauty, Nysa Grove seems almost too perfect. It doesn’t take long, however, for Cara to sense that all is not as it seems at Nysa Grove.

There’s Sebastian, the handsome deputy principal whose mercurial moods seem to carry unspoken warnings. And there’s Deanna, the revered principal who speaks in riddles, bakes with uncanny devotion, and appears to hold the entire school in thrall.

As strange visions plague Cara, and children disappear, she finds herself questioning everything — and everyone. What secrets are her colleagues hiding?

Haunted by the ghosts of her own past, Cara must decide how much of herself she will sacrifice for the thing she craves most: belonging.

A haunting gothic tale of desire and the quiet horrors of institutional devotion, Hunger Pangs explores what we are willing to consume — and become — in order to be accepted.
