From the New York Times bestselling author of the Hush, Hush saga, a dark urban romantasy that questions the true cost of beauty.
A teen beauty queen has vanished from Tea Kettle Island, and all evidence points to the girl's ex-boyfriend, Sascha Sinner.
With a bounty out on Sascha's head, seventeen-year-old Bunny decides to go after it - and him. But Sascha insists he didn't do it, and wants Bunny's help to prove his innocence.
Her search for the truth takes her to the very edge of the island, into its darkly magical past, revealing secrets the town has tried to push down. There are devilish creatures haunting the woods, a handsome man at the centre of a cult-like following, and a hidden history of missing girls - a history that includes Bunny's own mother.
Can Bunny figure out who, or what, is taking the girls of Tea Kettle Island, before she is lost herself?
