Junior year summer ended with a car crash that killed Kellan Maddox’s parents. Senior year begins with Kellan coming back bigger, colder, meaner, a boy with bruised knuckles, dead eyes, and a secret obsession with proving the crash wasn’t an accident. Y/N remembers when he was soft. Now he barely looks at her unless he’s trying to hurt her. But when strange warnings start appearing, old rumors resurface, and their friend group begins cracking under the weight of everything unsaid, Y/N realizes Kellan may not be paranoid. His parents were hiding something. Someone wanted them gone. And loving Kellan might put her directly in the path of whoever is still watching.
