In the sleepy town of Westvale, where autumn leaves hide more than just secrets, seventeen-year-old Aria Morgan has never been able to let go of the mystery surrounding Emily Rhodes' disappearance two years ago during the annual Fall Festival.
When Aria chooses Emily's case for a local history project, she unknowingly kicks open a door that was never meant to be reopened. Armed only with her journal of theories, a skeptical best friend, and a growing list of suspicious townspeople, Aria begins digging into the past - only to realize the town has been lying ever since Emily vanished.
As she gets closer to the truth, Aria finds herself caught between Noah Hale, the brooding, sharp-tongued son of the disgraced former cop who botched Emily's original investigation. What starts as heated arguments and reluctant teamwork slowly ignites into something far more dangerous... and undeniable.
With an unlikely group of allies, Aria uncovers a web of betrayal, stolen money, and hidden power that runs deeper than anyone imagined.
But some truths come with a deadly price.
In a town where everyone is hiding something, Aria Morgan will have to decide how far she's willing to go and who she's willing to trust to finally bring the truth to light.
A gripping YA mystery packed with twists, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, and small-town secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Some girls vanish.
Some girls survive.
And some girls make sure the people who buried them finally pay.
