Those words float through Claire Cain’s
head as she lies broken and barely alive after a brutal beating. And the words
continue to haunt her months later, in the relentless, terrifying nightmares
that plague her sleep. So when her father is offered a teaching sabbatical in
another state, Claire is hopeful that getting out of Chicago, away from the
things that remind her of what she went through, will offer a way to start
anew.
But when she arrives in Peculiar,
Missouri, Claire quickly realizes something is wrong—the town is brimming with
hidden dangers and overrun by feral cats. And her fears are confirmed when a
popular high school girl, Serena Sims, is suddenly found dead in the icy woods
behind the school. While everyone is quick to say Serena died in an accident,
Claire knows there’s more to it—for she was the one who found Serena, battered
and most certainly dead, surrounded by the town’s feral cats.
Now Claire vows to learn the truth
about what happened, but the closer she gets to uncovering the mystery, the
closer she also gets to discovering a frightening reality about herself and the
damage she truly sustained in that Chicago alley. . . .
With an eerie setting and
heart-stopping twists and turns, Holly Schindler weaves a gripping story that
will make you question everything you think you know.
