Josie Byrne's life is
spiraling out of control. Her parents are divorcing, her boyfriend Nick
has grown distant, and her physics teacher has it in for her. When
she's betrayed by the two people she trusts most, Josie thinks things
can't get worse.
Until she starts having dreams about a girl named Jo. Every night at the same time—3:59 a.m.
Jo's
life is everything Josie wants: she's popular, her parents are happily
married, and Nick adores her. It all seems real, but they're just
dreams, right? Josie thinks so, until she wakes one night to a shadowy
image of herself in the bedroom mirror – Jo.
Josie and Jo
realize that they are doppelgängers living in parallel universes that
overlap every twelve hours at exactly 3:59. Fascinated by Jo's perfect
world, Josie jumps at the chance to jump through the portal and switch
places for a day.
But Jo’s world is far from perfect. Not only
is Nick not Jo's boyfriend, he hates her. Jo's mom is missing, possibly
insane. And at night, shadowy creatures feed on human flesh.
By
the end of the day, Josie is desperate to return to her own life. But
there’s a problem: Jo has sealed the portal, trapping Josie in this
dangerous world. Can she figure out a way home before it’s too late?
From
master of suspense Gretchen McNeil comes a riveting and deliciously
eerie story about the lives we wish we had – and how they just might
kill you.

The
spine-tingling horror of Stephen King meets an eerie mystery worthy of
Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liars series in Kate Karyus Quinn's
haunting debut.
On a cool autumn night, Annaliese Rose Gordon
stumbled out of the woods and into a high school party. She was
screaming. Drenched in blood. Then she vanished.
A year later,
Annaliese is found wandering down a road hundreds of miles away. She
doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know how she got there. She only
knows one thing: She is not the real Annaliese Rose Gordon.
Now
Annaliese is haunted by strange visions and broken memories. Memories of
a reckless, desperate wish . . . a bloody razor . . . and the faces of
other girls who disappeared. Piece by piece, Annaliese's fractured
memories come together to reveal a violent, endless cycle that she will
never escape—unless she can unlock the twisted secrets of her past.
