About
In a small town haunted by unsolved disappearances, a teen with a secret ability must unravel a deadly mystery -- before she becomes the next victim.
Mendocino is not the quaint coastal California town Zayn Pereira imagined. It's shrouded in a fog that never lets up. Posters of a missing teen girl are plastered everywhere, and just offshore is an island called Rainsong, rumored to be haunted.
At her new school, everyone is tense and suspicious of each other. So when charismastic Ollie takes Zayn under her wing, it's a relief -- but is her charm hiding something? People assume brooding Tiago, the missing girl's ex-boyfriend, is responsible for her disappearance... but Zayn can't keep her eyes off him. Is he really who everyone says he is?
Besides, Zayn has a secret of her own. And when Tiago is struck by a car one night, she is forced to reveal it to save him. In doing so, Zayn discovers her connection to a generations-old feud that still rages today. Can she break herself from the grip of Mendocino's past tragedy? Or will she become the next girl on the missing poster?
Filled with angsty romance, supernatural powers, murder, and vengeance, this is a chilling and propulsive read. The daughter of Afghan and Australian immigrants, LILA RIESEN was raised in the United States. Her undergraduate studies in English were completed at Indiana University and the Australian National University. In 2017, Lila graduated with a master's degree in English literature and linguistics from the University of Zurich in Switzerland. She is the author of Free Radicals, a YA novel, inspired by her cashew-coveting baba and all the Afghans fighting for peace, in the US and abroad.
