One brother vanished. The other must become a monster to find him.
Roman Salisbury was the light in Noah Beach's world. Then the light went out.
When Roman disappears after being invited to Lockwood University, Noah forces his way into the school determined to bring him home. But Lockwood is no ordinary university. It is a sanctuary for witches, wizards, and werewolves, hidden behind prestige and ancient magic.
To survive, Noah must turn every lie into a weapon and pull off the most dangerous con of his life: convincing the entire University that he is a vampire.
The deeper he sinks into Lockwood's secrets, the more he feels himself slipping into someone colder, sharper, and far more dangerous.
Because at Lockwood, power comes at a price.
And blood remembers everything.
Noah must decide how much of himself he is willing to lose to uncover the truth before he vanishes to.
A dark academia fantasy about brotherhood, grief, and the cost of becoming what the world fears.

Review :
Vanished..
This book has it everything - a friendship, laughter and joy, but, also, pain, loyalty and tradition. It is a rollercoaster of emotions - a book that will take you on a new journey.
OMG I just couldn't put this book down, if you love fantasy books then this is something you will enjoy. The world of supernatural meets an ordinary boy looking for his brother, and uncovers some shocking truths along the way...
An elite university that hand selects students. Two foster brothers. One fast paced and twisty magical adventure. What if the things that go bump in the night needed somewhere to learn? And what if your brother suddenly disappears into it? Armed with only a vaguely useful anonymous text pen pal it is up to Noah to figure out what is really happening at Lockwood University, and where his brother Roman went. The book seamlessly blends drama and magic with just the right amount of gore and angry yelling at plot twists. An absolute must for fans of dark academia and urban fantasy with a distinctly English twist. From centuries long political disputes to onesie clad drinking games and werewolf forest raves you never quite know what is going to happen next
