Some photos don't just capture a moment — they reveal the truth. And the truth can be dangerous.

When Jayden transfers to a quiet coastal town, all he wants is to disappear. New school, new faces, same silence. But everything changes the moment he sees his own face pinned to a hallway corkboard — captured in a photo he never posed for, taken by someone he's never met.

Enter Ezra. Mysterious. Brilliant. Haunted. And always watching, from behind the lens of an old black camera.

What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. Because Ezra doesn't take photos of people who want to be seen. He captures the ones trying to vanish.

As Jayden is drawn deeper into Ezra's world of secrets, shadows, and silence, he uncovers a pattern: students have disappeared before. And someone is watching again.

This isn't just a love story. It's a story about surveillance, survival, and the terrifying power of being truly seen.

For readers who loved They Both Die at the End, A List of Cages, and We Were Liars — this emotional YA thriller will stay with you long after the final page.
