From the author of "Confessions of a Closet Catholic" and "Purge" comes a chilling novel about the dangers of online relationships and keeping secrets.
Abby is starting high school--it should be exciting, so why doesn't she care? The only thing she cares about anymore is talking to Luke, a guy she met online who understands. He is her secret...and she is his. Then Luke asks her to meet him and she does. But Luke isn't who he says he is. When Abby goes missing, everyone is left to put together the pieces. If they don't, they'll never see Abby again.
