Charley Beckett-perfectly sane, normal, Charley Beckett-counts everything. Years since her parents' unsolved murder: fifteen. Bodies she's found dead: three. Puncture wounds on each of their throats: two. People who believe her when she says vampires are to blame: zero.


Since her parents' murder, she's tried to get past her hallucinations, PTSD, and her reputation as the little red-haired girl police found screaming about monsters that didn't-surely, couldn't-exist. But there's this story-conspiracy theory-swirling around her small town that says her father was part of a secret government experiment, one that would prove vampires weren't legends at all. And Charley can't move on. Especially when she stumbles upon a dead girl with the same bloody puncture wounds as her parents-and someone follows her home.


Left with no one who believes her, Charley breaks into the abandoned facility where her father once worked, desperate to find the truth. But she's not the only one after answers. Victor, a handsome vampire, is there to convince her that not only is she perfectly sane, but he's the only one that can save her from those who seek to abuse her connection to the government's experiments. However, when Victor knows details about her parents' death that only the murderer could, Charley will need to learn to trust herself, no matter how crazy her thoughts may seem. If she doesn't, she'll go from counting bodies to counting her last heartbeats...one...two...three...nothing.

Two girls, chasing their dreams, find themselves caught in a web of secrets tied to a forbidden past. But as their bond is tested by time, love, and betrayal, the unshakable friendship they once shared begins to crumble. "I love you! Because of you, I laughed a little harder, cried a little less, and smiled a little more." "I love you too! I just want you-your flaws, mistakes, smiles, and everything about you." But the love that once brought them together begins to fade. "You're not the same Bella. You're not the Bella I loved." "That's nonsense! I'm the same Bella you always loved! What's gotten into you?" "I know my Bella. I could recognize her by the freckle on her skin. But you're not her." Heartbreak sets in: "Don't you love me anymore?" she asks, as tears streak her face. But trust has been shattered. Tempers flare, and dark truths emerge: "Say it once again?" "I HATE YOU, LILY! I hate every single damn action you take! You think you're a leader? You're just a loser. All this mess is because of you! Why didn't you die that night instead of them?" As the tension escalates, a new conflict arises: "Harry just asked me out for the college prom," Lily says. "Then say no. It's simple," Bella snaps. "What's wrong with you, Bella? I like him, and I'm saying yes!" "There you go again, deciding things by yourself. Just like that night when you acted on your own and called a cursed child." With love on one side and loyalty on the other, Lily must navigate heartbreak, misunderstandings, and regret. Meanwhile, the mystery of their shared past looms larger, threatening to unravel everything. Can their friendship survive the trials of love, loss, and betrayal?
