Written by<\/b> KELLY BRAFFET<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hardcover<\/b>, 320 pages | Crown | Fiction – Suspense; Fiction – Literary; Fiction – Family Saga | $25.00<\/b> | August 6, 2013 | 978-0-385-34734-1 (0-385-34734-0)<\/p>\n

A gripping novel full of suspense and pathos that Dennis Lehane calls an “electrifying, tomahawk missile of a thriller.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Patrick Cusimano’s life can’t get much worse. His father is in jail, he works the midnight shift at a grubby convenience store, and his brother’s girlfriend, Caro, has pushed their friendship to an uncomfortable new level.  On top of all that, he can’t shake the attentions of Layla Elshere, a goth teenager who befriends Patrick for reasons he doesn’t understand, and doesn’t fully trust. The temptations these two women offer are pushing Patrick to his breaking point.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Layla’s little sister, Verna, is suffering through her first year of high school.  She’s become a prime target for her cruel classmates, and not just because of her strange name and her fundamentalist parents. Layla’s bad-girl rep casts a shadow too heavy for Verna to bear alone, so she falls in with her sister’s tribe of outcasts. But their world is far darker than she ever imagined…<\/p>\n

Unless Patrick, Layla, Caro, and Verna can forge their own twisted paths to peace—with themselves, with each other—then they’re stuck on a dangerous collision course where the stakes couldn’t be higher.<\/p>\n

Kelly Braffet has written a novel of unnerving power—<\/b>darkly compelling, compulsively addictive, and shockingly honest.<\/p>\n
