The event cause Emmy and her mother to leave their home for safety to travel to the town of Methelwood. Once there she was told by her mom that they have left the human world never see her father again and she could never go back. Emmy stunned and angry with her mom was confused shortly afterwards by her mother getting arrested. Emmy is force to live with her aunt and brother in a town that was strange beyond imagination.

To top it all off she is beginning to hear a voice in her head frequently that she has only heard once when she was eleven.Emmy literally runs into a boy name Breckin Crowder who cause her to have an accident. When he apologizes his voice stuns Emmy because it is literally the voice that she has been hearing lately. She hears his thoughts.

Someone will stop at nothing to kill them. It is a race against time to find evidence of who wants them dead before it is too late.I love the story line. It is freshly original in concept yet so believable it draws you in. What I love best about this story is the writer's talent to clearly the develop the characters and keep the fast pace of the plot at the same time. The author throws you in the middle of the story. I like this because the author assumes that the reader is intelligent enough to figure out the plot on his or her own.The interaction between the characters are fascinating particular the interactions between Emmy and Breckin and even more so the interaction between Emmy and Cyrus. Which I found to be particularly  delicious. Both men are challenging for Emmy to get to know especially with her wanting to be a psychologist when she becomes older and with both men being stand offish and distrusting in nature. With minimal words the author is adept at brilliantly capturing the emotions of each scene and situation between the characters.
