In this swoony thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, a sleepy college town is plagued by a series of unexplained deaths, and a young woman must team up with a dangerously alluring stranger to uncover the truth.

Faith has spent her life being unwanted. As a child of an affair, she’s done everything to build a new path for herself by attending Ashbourne College. She has goals, friends, a new perspective. Hope for the future.

Until the night that shatters everything.

A brutal attack. An impossible assailant. A dead friend.

The police think it’s an accident. But Faith knows what she saw. Determined to uncover the truth, her investigation leads her to a strange and alluring young man who’s been stalking Ashbourne’s campus in search for answers himself.

Corbin is guarded and elusive. Trusting him would mean breaking the walls Faith has spent nearly a lifetime constructing. With the killer on the loose and danger closer than Faith could ever imagine, her search for answers leads to one terrible truth: The closer she gets to Corbin, the more in danger they both are.

Kelley Armstrong believes experience is the best teacher, though she’s been told this shouldn’t apply to writing her murder scenes. To craft her books, she has studied aikido, archery, and fencing. She sucks at all of them. She has also crawled through very shallow cave systems and climbed half a mountain before chickening out. She is, however, an expert coffee drinker and a true connoisseur of chocolate-chip cookies.
