Every twelve years, Ashwood Ridge burns-and nobody remembers. When Ava Brooks returns home after her mother's sudden death, the last thing she expects is a column of silent blue fire rising from the woods behind her backyard. The sheriff insists she's "imagining things." The neighbors pretend nothing happened. The only person who believes her is a strange boy who keeps sketching pictures of Ava standing in a burning forest. Then the spirals start appearing. On her windows. On the trees. On her skin. As people begin losing hours-sometimes entire days-Ava discovers her family has been tied to a repeating supernatural disaster for over a century. A creature made of cold flame is watching her. Waiting for her. The last cycle took her mother. This one wants Ava. And the only way to survive the fire is to remember what the town keeps forgetting.

Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
