Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth — her sister’s friend Sophie didn’t kill herself. She was murdered.
Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn’t actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she
passes out, she slides into somebody else’s mind and experiences the
world through that person’s eyes. She’s slid into her sister as she
cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class.
She learned the worst about a supposed “friend” when she slid into her
during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what
happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone
holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie’s slashed body.
Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe
her? It sounds so crazy that she can’t bring herself to tell her best
friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in
Rollins, he has been acting off lately, more distant, especially now
that she’s been spending more time with Zane.
Enmeshed in a
terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to,
Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.
