Ivy Erickson has always known exactly when people will die.

The glowing countdown clocks above every head have haunted her for as long as she can remember… and her own is nearly out.

With only weeks left to live, Ivy is trying to survive the ordinary wreckage of life in a small town: a fractured family, a first love she can’t quite let go of, and the grief of losing her best friend, Vanessa, whose body was found in the woods that border Kennedy. The town whispers that Ivy knows more than she’s saying. They might be right.

Because when another girl disappears, Ivy becomes certain Vanessa’s death was no isolated tragedy. Someone is hunting girls in Kennedy. Someone has been leaving chilling clues—including a single gardenia. And if Ivy is right about what the clocks have been warning her, she may be next.

Now, with time slipping through her fingers, Ivy must uncover the truth about Vanessa’s murder, the girls who vanished after her, and the killer hiding in plain sight.

The clock is ticking. And in Kennedy, time is the one thing no one survives.
