Graciela Harper thought running away from Heron Creek was the right decision. It was the only way she could see to save her friends from her murderous half-brother, so what else could she do? Not even an appearance from the mysterious Cade Walters or a call for help from an old college friend can change her mind, but when one of her ghosts arrives with a message, Gracie realizes there's no way she can hide forever - if the ghosts can find her, so can her brother.
She returns home to Heron Creek, armed with new information about her family and determined to find a way to turn the tables on the Fournier family. A visit to New Orleans gives her hope that a real future with her boyfriend, Leo Boone, could be possible - but the trip takes a dark turn when her friends begin to disappear, one-by-one.
Gracie knows she has to confront Dylan Travis - to kill him before he kills her - so she sets out to uncover where he's hiding her friends, And what she discovers is that it's going to take all of her ghosts, a little luck, and a whole lot of courage to get everyone out alive.
