Lana Granger lives a life of lies. She has told so many lies about where she comes from and who she is that the truth is like a cloudy nightmare she canโt quite recall. About to graduate from college and with her trust fund almost tapped out, she takes a job babysitting a troubled boy named Luke. Expelled from schools all over the country, the manipulative young Luke is accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana, he may have met his match. Or has Lana met hers?
When Lanaโs closest friend, Beck, mysteriously disappears, Lana resumes her lying waysโto friends, to the police, to herself. The police have a lot of questions for Lana when the story about her whereยญabouts the night Beck disappeared doesnโt jibe with eyewitness accounts. Lana will do anything to hide the truth, but it might not be enough to keep her ominous secrets buried: someone else knows about Lanaโs lies. And heโs dying to tell.
