The dance was meant to celebrate. But something ancient came instead. When the mid-August welcome dance ends in unspeakable horror, Olivia Manchester and Jamie Hook are left clinging to the edges of reality. Classmates are dying-brutally, inexplicably-and each death feels less human than the last. Whispers haunt the halls. Shadows move where light should fall. And something in West Barrow, no in Holdridge has awakened. To survive, Olivia and Jamie must uncover the truth behind the bloodshed, before the darkness takes them too. Because whatever it is, it's not finished. And it's hungry.
