Publisher Description

Debut author Dawn Kurtagich is dead on in this terrifying psychological thriller!



Over two decades have passed since the fire at Elmbridge High, an inferno that took the lives of five teenagers. Not much was known about the events leading up to the tragedy - only that one student, Carly Johnson, vanished without a trace...



...until a diary is found hidden in the ruins.



But the diary, badly scorched, does not belong to Carly Johnson. It belongs to Kaitlyn Johnson, a girl who shouldn't exist Who was Kaitlyn? Why did she come out only at night? What is her connection to Carly?



The case has been reopened. Police records are being reexamined: psychiatric reports, video footage, text messages, e-mails. And the diary.



The diary that paints a much more sinister version of events than was ever made publicly known.

    — Booklist
  • “Kurtagich maintains the creepy and dark tone through to the end, where readers are not given a neat, tidy ending—the ghosts still haunt, pieces of the story remain missing, and life goes on despite the terrible tragedy at the prestigious Elmbridge High School.”
