At Halston University, nothing is ever just what it seems.
Seventeen-year-old Mara Lowell is accepted into the school's elite early-admit program after her brother - a prodigy - dies under mysterious circumstances there two years before. Everyone says it was an accident. Mara doesn't believe them.
When she arrives, she's assigned a mentor: Julian Hale, the school's golden boy - brilliant, sarcastic, and completely infuriating. He's everything she hates: confident, untouchable, and constantly hiding something behind his sharp grin.
But when strange notes begin appearing in her dorm - each one written in her brother's handwriting - Mara and Julian are forced to team up to uncover what really happened.
The deeper they dig, the more they realize that the truth isn't buried - it's alive. And Halston's prestigious research program isn't studying human psychology at all... it's rewriting it.
Some nights, Mara swears she sees her brother's reflection in the library windows.
Some nights, Julian looks at her like he knows exactly what she's dreaming about.
And some nights, they both wonder if they're falling for each other - or being pulled together by something far more dangerous.
