The summer I turned seventeen was the summer I fell in love. And then everything went to hell.
Ryan was a bully who needed a good ass-kicking. Everyone in our small town hated him. Some even wished him dead. But just because my friends and I were in the woods the night he vanished, just because we were drunk and started a fire, doesn’t mean he was with us or that we killed him. Besides, the cops found no evidence Ryan was a victim of foul play.
Jamie Sutton, Fenna Hicks, and Carter Shipley.
All of us suspects. None of us charged.
One. Two. Three.
No one saw or heard a thing.
Four summers have passed since Ryan disappeared, and that one mysterious night still haunts me. I can’t move forward until I uncover the truth. But opening dark secrets meant to stay hidden could test my friendship with Fenna, destroy my love for Carter, and be what tears us all apart.
Recommended for ages 17+ due to some disturbing themes.
