Melanna, a young woman who has just passed her teenage years, living a pretty solitary life in a newly renovated bungalow, is being hunted by the same murderer, the same convict that had killed her brother years ago. One by one, she receives news of her kin disappearing and soon finds out they were savagely killed, left in places where it was difficult to discriminate a body, the same way her brother was all those years ago. She was the last existing mortal in her generation-- she was the last target.
Melanna realizes she's being watched. The murderer's scheme was being put into action step by step, he was growing stronger each day-- marks and scratches on the doors and balcony banisters, dead creatures that could not be identified on her porch. She plans to escape, being the only one in her generation who coped to survive the assassination-- but can she?
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
