Echo Ridge epitomizes small-town America. Though Ellery has never visited, she’s well-acquainted with its dark history: her aunt vanished there at seventeen, and just five years ago, the town gained notoriety when a homecoming queen was murdered. Now, Ellery must move to Echo Ridge to live with a grandmother she hardly knows.
Beneath its picturesque surface, the town harbors many secrets. Even before school starts, someone has announced a new threat targeting homecoming, vowing to recreate the danger from five years past. This threat quickly turns real when another girl disappears.
Ellery is no stranger to secrets—her mother and grandmother both have them. As she spends more time in Echo Ridge, it becomes evident that everyone in the town is hiding something. The truth is, secrets can be perilous, and most people are not adept at keeping them. In Echo Ridge, the safest bet is to keep your secrets to yourself.
