*Review Contributed by Olivia Farr, Staff Reviewer* The police say there’s nothing they can do, and Cass resigns herself to live in fear until she reconnects with three old friends-three girls ready to exact vengeance on those who wronged them.īut the deeper Cass digs, the more shocking the truth becomes, especially when she discovers that the person who ruined her life may be the only one who can save it. Notes from the man she escaped, telling her that he’s always there, always watching.

The pink envelopes that appear in her car, her locker, her bedroom. It wasn’t the kidnapping that ruined Cass Adams’s life. We may be temporarily broken, but we will leave them forever charred. We’ll give them back the damage they left us with, burden them with the weight of our pain. Catching each other’s sparks until the flames grew, spread, raged beyond our control.
