Willow Awen Miller just wanted one normal year. Moving to Helena for the start of her senior year seemed like a fresh start—right up until a serial killer turns the sleepy town upside down.

Instead of quiet, she gets Dean. Reckless, magnetic, and the guy everyone wants to be near (and no one should), he crashes into her life with a fake relationship that quickly blurs into something terrifyingly real. The closer she gets to him, the harder it is to tell where his dark obsession ends and actual love begins.

As Halloween 2016 approaches, the town panics, people vanish, and the search for the killer closes in.

Some people fall in love. Willow falls into something nefarious.

Tropes:

Forced proximity
