À propos de cet e-book
A gripping speculative thriller where a young girl—with the power to see death before it happens—saves someone who then becomes the perpetrator in a school shooting. Now, someone knows her secret and wants revenge . . .
“A dance of secrets, twists, and turns, that keeps you spinning as you race through this stunning mystery!”—Keely Parrack, author of 10 Hours to Go
“A subtle commentary on the aftermath of gun violence.”—Kirkus Reviews
Whitney knows what death looks like. Since she was seven, she’s seen it hover over strangers’ heads in dark, rippling clouds. Sometimes she can save people from the darkness. Sometimes she can’t. But she’s never questioned if she should try. Until the unthinkable happens—and a person she saves becomes the perpetrator of a horrific school shooting.
Now Whitney will do anything to escape the memory of last year’s tragedy and the guilt that gnaws at her for her role in it. Even if that means quitting dance—the thing she loves most—and hiding her ability from her family and friends. But most importantly, no one can know what really happened last year.
Then Whitney finds an ominous message in her locker and realizes someone knows her secret. As the threats pile up, one thing becomes clear—someone wants payback for what she did. And if she’s going to survive the year, she must track down whoever is after her before it’s too late.
