In a forgotten corner of small-town Indiana, Adrianna McMahon serves up nuts and fudge at the mall while hiding from her dark past. When her seventeen-year-old coworker, Rebel James, drops off a bloodstained notebook full of stories about missing girls, Adrianna recognizes a haunting pattern—one leading straight to New Day High School, where her own nightmare began decades ago.   Then Rebel disappears and the bodies of dead girls start appearing.   Each murder mirrors one of Rebel's stories with terrifying precision. But they also hint at Adrianna's own past and a secret she hasn't told a soul. But how could Rebel, or anyone, have known? It's not long before the police are asking questions . . . and Adrianna doesn't have the right answers.   As body count rises, Adrianna must decide: Is Rebel crying out for help, or luring her into a twisted game?
