Five friends discover there are bonds even death can't break in the first book of this gritty paranormal fantasy series featuring a slow-burn romance.
Everyone in Ridgemore knows Joss and her friends Griffin, Hunt, Layla, and Brady have been inseparable since they were kids. You mess with one, and you'll have the whole bunch to answer to. Their senior year should be one long, carefree party, but Joss can't seem to get over a crush on Griffin that could screw up their lifelong friendship. She can't help it; she's drawn to his devilish smirk and the brooding stare that seems to trail her wherever she goes.
But any thoughts of romance go out the window when a horrible accident changes everything. One minute Brady is broken and flatlining; the next he's alive and kicking. Everyone is stunned by the "Miracle Kid's" rapid reversal-except for Brady's parents, who want him to lie about how not terrible he feels. In fact, his friends' families are acting pretty strange too.
As Brady's miraculous recovery morphs into a nightmare, Joss and the rest of their tight-knit crew begin to realize their sleepy mountain town is infested with disturbing secrets. Secrets about who-or what-they really are. With eyes everywhere, there's no one they can trust. It's the five of them against the world . . . and the world is coming for them.
Stranger Things meets Riverdale in an edgy new-adult series, in which heart-pounding paranormal adventure, slow-burn romance, and a friendship stronger than death converge.
