How can a place she's never been before feel so much like home? Hidden Bay is no ordinary town. And Melodie may not be an ordinary girl.As soon as she arrives, strange things begin to happen. There's Blake, the guy who's so familiar, though she's sure she's never met him; there's the man who keeps appearing, who may not be a man at all; and there's the blackouts. Except that in the blackness, she's going somewhere. Somewhere other. Somewhere dark, and wet, and full of pain.And if she doesn't work out what it all means soon, it could be too late. For her.
