Last summer, Link Miller drowned on dry land in the woods, miles from the nearest body of water. His death was ruled a weird accident,
but Noemi Amato knows the truth: Link was killed. He told her so himself, because he’s been texting her from beyond the
grave, warning her to keep away from the forest.

Amberlyn, Link’s sister, can’t shake the feeling that Noemi is hiding something, and Jonas, Noemi’s new housemate,
can’t get past the walls that she has constructed around herself. Because Noemi has a dangerous secret even bigger than
Link’s ghost …

Link drowned in an impossible lake that only she can find. If the three don’t work together to unravel the truth about what
is happening in the woods, someone else may wind up dead.
