Audrey Hawthorne has the worst memory ever.
She knows that her move to the small city of Illena is not the first time she's had to switch schools, but she can't remember where they lived before. She knows a lot of historical trivia, and maybe even a bit of the future, but she doesn't know how. And she knows that she has met Patrick Gillingham before, but she can't say where.
So when hell breaks loose, Audrey decides that it's time her mother Mara comes clean. However, when she learns the shocking truth, she comes to understand that the secrets of her past are far more dangerous than the apocalypse beginning outside her door.

Behind Closed Doors
I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family.
