In a serial killer's small town where girls disappear, my heart's torn between a hopeless crush on my best friend's older brother and a chilling reality. Here, secrets cast desperate shadows, and trust could be deadly. Fear isn't just a reaction - it's a power. And the line between love and terror is razor-thin. I'm seventeen, a cheerleader, and should be preparing for the biggest pageant of my life - my chance to leave this stifling Texas town where girls vanish yearly.
My dream? Winning that crown, cheering my heart out, and getting away from here. My reality? Dealing with a broken heart because of Dimitri, my best friend Nadia's infuriatingly handsome ex-footballer brother. The one who's always been off-limits. But the shadows of this town go deeper than I thought. This year's victim, the cheerleading captain, was found with angel wings carved into her cheeks - a macabre signature.
The whispers say my own father might be the serial killer, and my younger brother can't escape the taunts at school. Dimitri, once the football star with a bright future, now grapples with his own demons. Our bond grows stronger as we navigate these dark waters together. With the pageant countdown ticking and my father and Dimitri both under suspicion, I'm torn between the weight of the crown and the whispers of the next disappearance. As Nadia and I plan our escape after senior year, the stakes grow heartbreakingly high.
