BT

Sixteen-year-old Ashley Ryland McCall-Hale has gotten used to living between two houses. Her fathers, Scott McCall-Hale and Derek McCall-Hale, are divorced and live in separate homes in Beacon Hills. Every week, Ashley alternates between them, trying to balance two completely different households—and two fathers who rarely agree on anything. Scott is the understanding father who gives Ashley room to breathe. Derek is fiercely protective, constantly questioning her choices, criticizing what she learns at Beacon Hills High School, and keeping a close eye on who she spends time with. Then there’s Brett Talbot. Brett knows exactly what Ashley is going through because his own parents are divorced. What starts as friendship slowly becomes something more, but Derek isn’t about to let his daughter get close to someone he doesn’t trust. As Ashley struggles between her father’s expectations and her own desire for independence, strange things begin happening throughout Beacon Hills. Missing people, unexplained events, and secrets surrounding her fathers make Ashley wonder if her family is hiding something from her. With Brett by her side and Derek determined to protect her at any cost, Ashley finds herself caught between family, love, secrets, and a town that is far more dangerous than it appears. In Beacon Hills, nothing is ever simple. And Ashley is about to discover that sometimes the biggest secrets are hiding inside your own family.
