Aubrey’s theories sound crazy, even to her—but this time, they might be true. 

 

Aubrey Lance loves literature, but if she’s learned one thing about life, it’s that real life doesn’t have neat endings like the stories. In real life, getting lost in imagination can be dangerous.

 

When Aubrey’s sister Emery vanished two years ago and the police declared it an accidental drowning at the Gulf, 15-year-old Aubrey was convinced that something more was going on. After months of wild theorizing, Aubrey was finally forced to admit what everyone else had already accepted: Emery had drowned. The rest had just been Aubrey's imagination.

 

Now, at age 17, Aubrey has adopted a more reasoned approach. Concrete, tangible facts only—NO speculation allowed.

 

…Until now.

 

When Aubrey’s best friend Chloe also vanishes, and Aubrey yet again finds herself disagreeing with the police’s explanation, she falls down another rabbit-hole of conspiracy theories which leave her doubting her understanding of reality.

 

Aubrey can’t deny the facts—something strange is happening—and her suspicions about her sister’s death may have been right. It may not have been an accident.

 

Emery may even be alive.

 

The more layers Aubrey peels back, the more certain she is that Chloe and Emery are both out there somewhere, in danger…

 

And Aubrey is determined to find them.
