A missing girl. A hidden witch. A monster in the woods.

Welcome to Harper Hollow, where nothing is as it seems.

I'm many things-succulent collector, twin sister, and reluctant school paper writer. But when Tawny Bell disappears into the woods? I might be the only person who knows her biggest secret.

When her siblings become suspects, they do the opposite of what I expect. Instead of lying low, they ask questions. Questions about the town. About the final night I spent as Tawny's friend. About me. Questions I can't-and won't-answer.

But when a nefarious magical creature prowls out of the forest, hurting everything it touches, I can't hide mine or Tawny's secrets forever. Halloween ticks closer. Danger creeps nearer. And there's only one thing I know for sure:

There's a monster in the woods and it wants me dead.

Small town secrets, slow burn romance, and teenage witches collide in the first book in this spellbinding contemporary fantasy series.
