You can't run from the night, not when it's in your bones.
Sixteen-year-old Marlow lives in a perfectly normal town—if you only look skin deep. She has friends better off as enemies and secrets sharp enough to kill, but it's her own broken heart that leads to her premature demise—and that's where the story begins.
It is upon her death that Marlow will learn the truth of her dark destiny. Ensnared in a haunting love triangle, she realizes both boys have holes in their hearts; gaping spaces she can never hope to fill. Scars from loving the same girl, a girl who stayed dead.
Handpicked by Death to right a wrong, Marlow must make a decision that may ruin them all—and her sleepy hometown? It isn't as she'd known it in life. Wicked creatures haunt the woods that hunger for the taste of flesh and bones and soon sinister outsiders arrive looking to do far worse than kill.
Haunting and beautiful, discover Skeleton Lake as we have not seen it before—in a striking new extended tenth-anniversary edition.
