"An instant page-turner" (Lisa Gardner) that straddles the line between thriller and horror..."sure to appeal to a wide range of readers, including Stephen King fans" (Booklist, starred review). A young woman's mysterious gift forces her into the middle of a dangerous investigation of a little girl's disappearance.

Twenty-year-old Finley Montgomery is rarely alone. Visited by people whom others can't see and haunted by prophetic dreams she has never been able to control or understand, Finley is terrified by the things that happen to her. When Finley's abilities start to become too strong for her to handle--and even the roar of her motorcycle or another dazzling tattoo can't drown out the voices--she turns to the only person she knows who can help her: her grandmother Eloise Montgomery, a renowned psychic living in The Hollows, New York.

Merri Gleason is a woman at the end of her tether after a ten-month-long search for her missing daughter, Abbey. With almost every hope exhausted, she resorts to hiring Jones Cooper, a detective who sometimes works with psychic Eloise Montgomery. Merri's not a believer, but she's just desperate enough to go down that road, praying that she's not too late. Time, she knows, is running out.

As a harsh white winter moves into The Hollows, Finley and Eloise are drawn into the investigation, which proves to have much more at stake than even the fate of a missing girl. As Finley digs deeper into the town and its endless layers, she is forced to examine the past, even as she tries to look into the future. Only one thing is clear: The Hollows gets what it wants, no matter what.

Review:

"Fans of the supernatural and psychological suspense will find this story entertaining." --Library Journal

"At first I thought I knew where Unger was driving me, but then she slammed on the brakes, turned and drove me right off a cliff." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Nothing is what it seems in this creepy romance novel." --The Oklahoman

"Manages to keep us guessing." --Raleigh News & Observer

"An extraordinary psychological thriller . . . Manages to do an incredible amount of things, all of them well, including a truly unique romantic triangle and the blurred lines between unconditional friendship and romantic infatuation. . . . A simmering tale of romantic obsession and angst in the tradition of Body Heat or Fatal Attraction, laced with the noirish spirit of James M. Cain. Wonderfully crafted and beautifully executed." --The Providence Journal

"Unger's skillful portrayal of complex and traumatized characters make her latest psychological thriller one that will keep readers engaged from start to finish. . . . This imaginative tale . . . may be the author's best work yet." --Library Journal (starred review)

"Scores another bull's eye with this one. Classic Unger and a surefire hit." --Kirkus Reviews

"Emotionally involving . . . Unger skillfully keeps the reader off kilter as she delves into the psyches of Priss and Ian." --South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"Suspenseful . . . Will keep readers hooked." --Publishers Weekly

"A deeply layered and finely textured novel about a special relationship that has taken a dark turn. It is a novel of obsession, unrequited love, loneliness and the rage that comes from not fitting in."--BookReporter
