But his stay lengthens as he is thrown into a series of wrenching dreams and visions that threaten his life further.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to just omit some part of your life? Just skip through some days because it's getting too hard for you to bear? Well, it happened to Haley Pattinson...with just a major difference that she never wished for it to happen, and trust me, after reading this, you yourself would wish that it never ever happens to anyone. Why, you ask? Because the two days that just disappeared from her memory without any notice weren't really days with trivial amount of happenings. In fact, if you were to ask Haley, they were the only two days when a whole lot of tragedy happened, and she has no damn idea what happened. Doesn't sound exactly delightful, right? On the day Haley wakes up, oblivious to the fact that she just missed out on two very important days of her life, a chain of events begin that anyone would want to stay far far away from. She is accused of a murder that she doesn't even know occurred, leading her into a great deal of misery. And like a cherry on top, someone wants to kill her. Well, along with everyone else she loves. She has exactly 7 days to pull through and save everyone she cares for, from this catastrophe. Will she be able to endure this string of tragic events along with her loved ones? Or will she die saving some of these closely cherished people? Credits for the cover and for writing the description go to @PeterHan8D And please don't plagiarise.
