Arya Taylor is just your average 16 year old girl but her father mysteriously disappears on Halloween Night. She doesn't know how to react to this until a beautiful stranger from Arizona pulls her away, but what's his secret? There's a killer on the streets of Wren Valley and no one is safe. Arya finds love with a stranger named Oliver and he helps her find out why her father has gone. * Oliver was the whisper you found at the side of your mouth, a shadow dancing in the corner of your eye. I was delusional and needed to forget. He was there for me. He played his guitar and I knew I'd seen the same twinkle in his eyes once before. He was ever present. Protecting me like a cloak of smoke, sinking into my clothes. I was alone, I had no one to protect. He smoked his cigarette, I didn't smoke mine. I guess we all need something to take the pain away. I had too much pain that could never be taken away. I was lost. I needed to chase my river. Oliver Rivers. Up until December 13th. *WARNING* This book contains sexual content, mild violence, mature themes, explicit language and drug abuse.
