Sometimes the wrong turn leads exactly where you were meant to be. Mia Caldwell never meant to end up in East Hollow—a forgotten corner of the city no one talks about, where time feels cracked and the silence carries old secrets. One missed stop on a rainy Tuesday evening, and her carefully planned college life begins to unravel thread by thread. At the center of the unraveling is Liam: unreadable, magnetic, and clearly hiding something beneath that worn leather jacket and dog-eared paperback. Their paths tangle fast—too fast. And when a cryptic text warns her not to trust him, Mia finds herself caught between instinct and curiosity, fear and something she doesn’t want to name. But East Hollow doesn’t just change people. It reveals them. As Mia digs deeper, she stumbles into a web of hidden pasts, missing memories, and questions no one wants answered. Why does the town feel like it remembers her? Who is watching from the shadows? And what truth lies beneath the strange connection she can’t deny? Each choice Mia makes pulls her further from the girl she was—and closer to a version of herself she’s not sure she’s ready to meet. Because some stories don’t wait to be told. Some find you. And when they do, there’s no turning back.
