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.
