About the Book
A small town. A big secret. A deadly game.
From the author of Liars, Inc., comes a dark, contemporary thriller with twists and turns that are perfect for fans of We Were Liars, Little Monsters, and One of Us Is Lying.
Embry Woods has secrets. Some are small, like the ones about her complicated past. Others are bigger, like her growing feelings for best friend’s ex-boyfriend, Holden. But the biggest secret she carries is about what they did at the abandoned Sea Cliff Inn…and the resulting terrible fire.
Embry helps a homeless man escape from the flames and is immediately hailed as a hero, but she knows that couldn’t be further from the truth. Though she’s wracked with guilt, Embry thinks she can take one last secret to her grave.
But then she receives an anonymous note—someone else was there that night. Now she must respond to a series of threatening messages asking her to make impossible choices.
Someone is playing a high-stakes game with her life. And their last move is murder.
- Twists and Turns: She’s hailed as a hero for a fire she secretly started. But the truth is far more dangerous, and someone knows exactly what she did.
- Small Town Secrets: On the moody Oregon Coast, the abandoned Sea Cliff Inn holds the key to a deadly night Embry wishes she could forget.
- Love Triangle: Embry is falling for Holden, her best friend’s ex, while her “perfect” long-distance boyfriend wants to talk about marriage.
- YA Psychological Thriller: Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, this dark mystery is a high-stakes game where the final move is murder.

Reviews
“Stokes makes the landscape an integral part of the story. Characters, even minor ones, are well developed, as are the subplots. With overtones of Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer (1973), this has the OMG quality that makes you afraid to wonder what will happen next.” — Booklist (starred review)
“A character-driven mystery perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti.” — School Library Journal
“Intriguing mystery.” — Kirkus Reviews
“The twisty thriller is an enjoyable ride. The nail-biting conclusion includes a shocking surprise; readers will likely gasp when the identity of “Unknown” is revealed.” — Publishers Weekly
