Rosewood was a town built on secrets, and Willow Stevens had never been short of her own. When her best friend vanishes without a trace one night, Willow knows all too well what it means to lose someone, her father disappeared on her fifth birthday, leaving her behind with a mother who drowns herself in alcohol, the coldness of a stepfather who never wanted her and the silent judgment of an older brother, whilst the younger one can't fathom why she clings so desperately to the Hastings family.
A year later, the past refuses to stay buried. An unknown tormentor begins to haunt Willow and her friends, dredging up the secrets they fought so desperately to conceal. As they unravel Alison's hidden truths, Willow must confront her own, the fractured story of her family, and the dangerous stirrings of a forbidden desire for the girl down the street, a yearning her parents would never allow.
With each anonymous threat, the tension tightens. Willow finds herself leaning on Spencer Hastings, sharp, cunning, and mercilessly sarcastic, as the line between friendship blurs. In Rosewood, nothing stays hidden forever, and every secret has a way of clawing its way back to the surface.
