They say Aurelia killed her sister. The evidence is clean. The motive is obvious. Even her own family looks at her like she's guilty. But Amelia's been dead for a year, and she's still whispering in Aurelia's head. Every memory feels wrong. Every mirror looks back a second too late. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of her own memories and the tangled web of her sister's manipulations, Aurelia must confront the truth about her past and the truth is more sinister than you think. ~~~ To prove she's innocent, Aurelia has to untangle the web her sister spent a lifetime weaving-lies, secrets, and a game that never ended. The problem is, the deeper she digs, the more she wonders... What if Amelia never wanted her to escape? What if she's still playing? Can she escape the shadow of a sister who never wanted to let go? ~~~ "Am, come back! Where are you going?" I try to chase her, but the closer I get, the further she disappears. "Please come back!
