Paperback / Hardback

Seventeen-year-old Lauren Sanders is drowning in grief. After losing her parents and sister, she’s left alone with a pain no one understands—and a diagnosis she refuses to admit. To the outside world, she’s just a girl struggling with loss, but the voices in her mind and the shadows at the edge of her vision whisper of something far darker.

Then she finds the first note. A clue that suggests her sister’s suicide wasn’t what it seemed.

Desperate for answers, Lauren follows a chilling trail of cryptic notes, uncovering family secrets buried beneath years of silence. But with each note, more questions arise, and the lines between truth and delusion begin to blur. With the help of Aaren—a boy haunted by his own demons—Lauren pieces together fragments of a dark puzzle, but every revelation only deepens her doubts.

Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. And as Lauren inches closer to the truth, one question haunts her: Will uncovering it bring her peace, or will it destroy her in the end?
