Caroline King's dad is gone. She's depressed. She's consumed in grief and guilt. She's drowning underneath it all. And then suddenly, she is very literally drowning in the ocean, and then she finds herself encouraging the water to keep abusing her, encouraging it to keep her down in the water. She's drowning and she's okay with it. Until her plan of drowning is foiled when a boy jumps into the sea and saves her. And he's got some secrets of his own, and he's not going to share those anytime soon. It's up to Caroline to figure those out all on her own.

Aria has always laid low in school with her tight-knit group of friends. When she meets Nash at a party, he's rude, he's blunt, and he's got more baggage than he can carry. Aria immediately dislikes him. But the line between hate and love is very thin, and a continuous game of Never Have I Ever may change everything.

I was made beautiful. But being pretty comes with a price. Im not normal. I was created, made beautiful specifically, for one purpose, to be something, a killer. I was created to kill. Have you ever left your house and wondered whether you would ever see these people, your family, again? I'm seventeen and I have to think about this everyday of my life. Excerpt: My family had been moved to this town mid-way through the year before after we received news of disappearances. News of kids being found, cut up and placed back into shape in some remote, isolated back alley. News of teenagers splattered across buildings. Babies being taken and found weeks later half decomposed and rotting, bitten and torn, chewed raw in places. I thrived off action and adrenalin.
