Blood can both wound and heal . . .
Willa is lucky: She has a loving blended family that gets along. Not all families are so fortunate. But when a bloody crime takes place hundreds of miles away, it has an explosive effect on Willa's peaceful life. The estranged father she hardly remembers has murdered his new wife and children, and is headed east toward Willa and her mother. Under police protection, Willa discovers that her mother has harbored secrets that are threatening to boil over. Has everything Willa believed about herself been a lie? But as Willa sets out to untangle the mysteries of her past, she also keeps her own secret--one that has the potential to tear apart all she holds dear.
How do you survive a monster when you fear you might be one, too?
- YA Psychological Thriller: Perfect for readers who love tense, character-driven suspense where the biggest threat might be coming from inside the house.
- A Killer on the Road: Willa's estranged father is driving east, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Her family is his final destination.
- A Secret She Can't Tell: Everyone is focused on the monster coming for them, but Willa is hiding a private pain so deep it threatens to destroy her from the inside out.
- A Family Built on Lies: As Willa uncovers the truth about her mother's past, she realizes her entire life might be a carefully constructed lie.
