"Hunter Blackwood never thought much about death until it took something from him-something that made home feel empty, even before he left. Now, in a new country, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he's haunted by what he can't forget. Moving to The United Kingdom was supposed to be a fresh start, yet all he feels is emptiness-until he meets her. A girl with golden-brown eyes and a teasing smile, someone who makes him forget, just for a moment, the weight he's been carrying. She speaks in riddles and knows things she shouldn't, and yet, she's the only one who makes him feel alive again. But as their connection grows, Hunter wonders if she's a figment of his imagination, a manifestation of his grief-or something.

I am not making fun of the fandom or the canon in any way shape or form (●'◡'●) I did actually read the first book. Or at least I listened to the audio book. This fic takes place at the end of the first book, right at the end of the school year in June and over the summer)Complete
