Tristen and his friends stand accused of foul play, and in an effort to make things right, he enlists Marcella's help in organizing a search party.

˃˃˃ "You don't want to miss this amazing young adult thriller!"- Jessica Page,Times-News correspondent
Secrets will be revealed, lives put in jeopardy, and the very existence of Curtis Hall questioned.
With a quick introduction to Marcella in the prologue, giving the reader a peak into her background, it doesn't take more than a few pages to get caught up in the story. Each fairly short chapter focuses on a different character, and there are several additional people we meet, primarily students intertwined in the events surrounding Tristen and Marcella. From Skye, the very cool, totally awesome vampire masquerading as a student, to the downright nasty Pietro, there are lots of personalities who share the pages and keep the story moving. We're also given a look at Marcella's backstory which adds a nice depth to the tale.
