A murder and the kidnapping of a teenage girl on the small island of Kauai brings buried secrets to light in this chilling thriller for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.
The same day Ophelia meets snarky, mainland-boy Easton and his spoiled sister, Tiffany, she stumbles on the body of a murdered woman.
Coincidence?
She thinks not. Everything about the siblings is suspicious and unable to get the murdered woman's face out of her mind, Ophelia decides to do a little investigating of her own. Enlisting the help of her best friend, Kalani, she pretends to befriend Easton to uncover his secrets. But the more she gets to know the
real
Easton the more she realizes she's no longer having to fake liking him.
Easton hates everything about the humid, bug infested island his dad and stepmom insisted they move to, until the day Ophelia pulls him into a murder investigation and things finally get interesting. Seeing a chance to outwit his abusive father, Easton plays a dangerous game until a girl goes missing and the murderer's focus turns to Ophelia. Suddenly Easton is forced to make a choice: keep playing his game or team up with Ophelia and Kalani to find the missing girl and uncover a killer before it's too late-even if it means unearthing some of his biggest secrets.
