Rory Miller thought her
life was over when a serial killer set his sights on her and forced her
into witness protection. But a fresh start on Juniper Landing Island
was exactly what she and her family needed. For the first time in years
she and her sister hang out at the beach, gossip about boys, and party
together. She's also made friends with a local clique--including a
magnetic and mysterious boy named Tristan.
But Rory's world is about
to change again. Picturesque Juniper Landing isn't what it seems. The
truth about the swirling fog that rolls in each morning, the bridge that
leads to nowhere, and those beautiful locals who seem to watch Rory's
every move is more terrifying than being hunted by Steven Nell. And all
Rory ever wanted was the truth. Even if it means learning that she can
never go home again. From the best-selling author of the Private and
Privilege series comes the second novel in a heart-stopping trilogy
about a girl who must pick up the pieces after the only life she's ever
known ends.

As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?

"My plan: Get into the city. Get Nadia. Find a way out. Simple."
A week ago, seventeen-year-old Lela Santos's best friend, Nadia, killed herself. Today, thanks to a farewell ritual gone awry, Lela is standing in paradise, looking upon a vast gated city in the distance – hell. No one willingly walks through the Suicide Gates, into a place smothered in darkness and infested with depraved creatures. But Lela isn't just anyone – she's determined to save her best friend's soul, even if it means sacrificing her eternal afterlife.
As Lela struggles to find Nadia, she's captured by the Guards, enormous, not-quite-human creatures that patrol the dark city's endless streets. Their all-too-human leader, Malachi, is unlike them in every way except one: his deadly efficiency. When he meets Lela, Malachi forms his own plan: get her out of the city, even if it means she must leave Nadia behind. Malachi knows something Lela doesn't – the dark city isn't the worst place Lela could end up, and he will stop at nothing to keep her from that fate.
