The Day They Disappeared tells the story of 17 year old Star Wars nerd Will Connors. After the brutal murders of two young girls the year prior, the small town of Pine Hollow, Pennsylvania is in a frenzy.

When his best friend Lucas suddenly goes missing in the May of 1986, Will finds himself in the center of a chaotic murder spree. Soon after his sister falls victim to the unknown serial killer, Will joins forces with the spunky and opinionated older sister of his best friend. 
Will and Ali decide to take the law into their own hands and track down the murderer themselves. But hunting a serial killer is a dangerous activity and Will's life becomes threatened as he gets closer to unmasking the murderer. 

With Ali by his side and the number of deaths on the rise, this nerdy teenage boy is slowly discovering the fine line between the truth and what it means to trust.
No sex, some foul language, and a graveyard full of suspense. A pinch of romance, a dash of horror, and a splatter of close calls

Soon, Mayuri begins to question the thin line between fiction and reality. Threats are made, daggers are drawn, and near-misses come too close for comfort.

Things come to a head when she teams up with Reed's ex-girlfriend and best friend to uncover his secrets, leading to a night when a knife and a gun determine all their futures. She didn't mean to run away from a murder. She didn't have a choice. Abducted by someone she trusted, Mayuri must use all her wiles to save herself. The true lies that drew Reed and Mayuri together-and the false truths they discover along the way-could drive them apart forever.
