Description

Age range 14+

Last summer, Link Miller drowned in the woods, miles from the nearest body of water. His death was ruled a weird accident, but Noemi Amato knows the truth: Link was killed. He told her so himself because he's been texting her from beyond the grave, warning her to keep away from the forest.

Amberlyn, Link's sister, can't shake the feeling Noemi is hiding something, and Jonas, Noemi's new housemate, can't get past the walls she's constructed around herself. Because Noemi has a dangerous secret even bigger than Link's ghost.

Link drowned in an impossible lake that only she can find. Now, if the three teens don't work together to unravel the truth about what is happening in the woods, someone else will wind up six feet under water.
