Gabriella talks too much when she’s nervous. Combine that with being a junior who has the body of a middle schooler, and she’s convinced no one will like her at her new school. Her fix: make herself into someone quieter and more reserved.
Her act works. She finds friends. But to keep up her ruse, she must second-guess her every move, and she’s not always successful. One boy, Marsh, sees through her act. But he won’t out her. He has a reputation for being dangerous, so no one talks to him.
Gabriella doesn’t believe the rumors about Marsh. To her, he is sweet, kind of hot, and with him, she doesn’t have to put on a show. She could really fall for a guy like him, except—is he safe? Her new friends say he is hiding something. If Gabriella can find out what it is, maybe she can trust him.
But as she delves into his past, she quickly discovers that some secrets are meant to be kept silent.
And his truth—
could kill.

ARE YOU REAL?
When life without forgiveness becomes a cell with no door.
Sixteen-year-old Chrissy made the worst decision of her life. She tried to help BFF Janice get over her fear of jumping off the high dive— by pushing her off. Now Janice is paralyzed and may never walk again. Chrissy tries to apologize, but Janice's mom says Janice isn't ready to talk and when she is, she’ll call Chrissy. Only Janice never calls. After months of suffering with agonizing guilt, Chrissy is relieved when her architect Dad takes the family with him on a summer remodeling job in another state. Maybe the time away from the reminders of Janice will give Chrissy the chance to come to terms with the horrible thing she’s done.
The locals say the school Dad’s working on is haunted by something terrifying. But Chrissy believes the guy her age she sees hanging around is a runaway squatting in the attic. She tracks him down and apparently, she’s right—a real live boy named Ethan lives up there. One who tells her he’s hiding because, like her, he’s hurt someone he loves and can’t apologize. But the more Chrissy learns about Ethan, the more she notices something is off about him. He forgets things, gets angry when he's confused, and one day, disappears right in front of her. Ethan might think he’s a normal teen, but he isn’t. What’s worse, when confronted with the fact he isn’t alive, his supernatural powers go haywire. Chrissy, after dodging shattered glass and whirlwinds of flying debris, must accept that the locals are correct about the ghost haunting the school. He’s dangerous. As Ethan spirals more and more out of control, Chrissy, who wrestles with her own guilt, must get him to deal with his, before someone else she loves gets hurt.
