Effy works nights at a shitty bar in a shitty part of LA, lives in an even shittier apartment with a leaky ceiling and a stray cat that refuses to leave. She's all rough edges and way too used to life handing her the short end of the stick. Nothing ever comes easy, and if it does, it probably wants something in return. Then this girl walks in. Easy laugh. Soft eyes. Looks like sin in a bandana and moves like the world's hers for the taking.

Was hoping you'd come home. I don't care if it's a lie. - This is the sequel to Hit Me Hard.

i work in a bookstore. nothing exciting ever happens. then one day i found a letter. just one. no name, no explanation. it said, "i've been watching you, for some time." i didn't overthink it. i left it where it was. but then there was another. and another. each one made me feel seen in a way no one else ever had. i didn't know who was leaving them. and i didn't know if i wanted to.

When eighteen year old Rose Halliwell returns to her secluded hometown in Vermont to attend school, a series of unexpected events causes her life to unfold quickly before her. Old friends, seen and unseen, welcome her back as they start the autumn semester at Oakridge College. In a town full of mysteries and drama Rose will find herself trapped in a web of delusion, paranoia, and buried guilt. She will have to try and get past old mistakes and refrain from making new ones, only one of her mistakes sits beside her. Her pale skin and ghostly blue eyes have haunted her for the past five years, only now those hauntings seem to come alive. At Oakridge, where ancient oaks whisper and every corner holds a secret, Rose must come face to face with her hauntings, because here not everything that's dead stays buried.

"It's the kind of love that should've died years ago-buried, forgotten, turned to ash. And yet... it haunts you. A relationship you swore was over, but it lives in the corners of your mind like a ghost that refuses to leave. It's unfinished, unspoken, like an abandoned campsite still glowing with embers-quiet, but deadly. All it takes is a single memory, a single look, and suddenly, it's burning again. Consuming. Alive." It's terrifying, isn't it? How fast something can go from forever... to forgotten. And how easily the night reminds you of everything you swore you'd already survived. ~ a book about the love that almost destroyed me, and the one that saved me
