Synopsis
Allie Kim is still confined to the night, and always will be, due to her fatal allergy to sunlight. And now she has lost her best friend, fellow XP-sufferer Juliet, who took her own life to escape the clutches of serial killer Garrett Tabor. Garrett's power runs deep; his family runs the clinic that has kept Allie and her XP soul mate, Rob Dorn, alive. Allie's only solace lies in her and Rob's budding romance.
But Allie won't rest until Garrett is brought to justice, and soon her obsession puts everyone and everything she holds dear at risk. With Rob's help, she takes up nighttime deep diving with the same intensity she applied to Parkour, and uncovers the terrible secret Garrett Tabor has hidden under Lake Michigan. But Rob has a secret of his own, as does Allie's mother, as does her closest confidante at the Tabor clinic—all of which plunge Allie toward a startling climax.
