But now it’s Genny who needs help from the disturbing visions she sees—images that are getting stronger and more violent day by day.Some fears can’t be stopped …Thrown together by necessity, drawn to each other by desire, Dallas and Genny must band together, searching the darkest heart of a town’s hidden secrets before a twisted killer can complete a sinister plan that will make one of them the fifth victim.
