The New York Times bestselling author Melissa Albert returns in
this supernatural thriller about a girl who uncovers dangerous
secrets surrounding disappearances in her small town. Perfect for
fans of Cynthia Murphy, This Book Kills and Dark and Shallow Lies.
One winter's night, four people go missing: three high school
students and a teacher, with no other link apparent among them. One
of the lost is Nora's enigmatic friend, Becca, who vanishes after
the lifelong friends have a transformative fight. As Nora tries to
untangle the truth of Becca's disappearance, she uncovers dark
events in her high school's past. With each discovery Nora makes
about the vanished four and her suburb's secrets, she becomes
increasingly aware her friend was hiding far more than she
realized. She must dig deep to discover whether Becca is
perpetrator or victim, and to unravel the mystery of the goddess, a
desperate and dangerous creation born out of female rage. But there
are other forces at work - and they're willing to protect or
destroy the legacy of the goddess at any cost.
