A freshman named Tiffany was the first, followed shortly by Kendall’s best-friend-maybe-boyfriend Nico.

Why did I read this book: I thought it sounded cool and I LOVE the cover.ġ6-year-old OCD-sufferer Kendall lives in Cryer’s Cross (population 212), a small close-knit farming town in Montana where kids are disappearing without a trace. How did I get this book: A book fairy got me an ARC Kendall is about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried. As Kendall and Jacian grow closer, Kendall digs deeper into Nico’s mysterious disappearance only to stumble upon some ugly-and deadly-local history. Can he possibly be alive somewhere? Where is he? And how can Kendall help him? The only person who believes her is Jacian, the new guy she finds irritating…and attractive. Then she begins receiving graffiti messages on the desk from someone who can only be Nico. She knows it’s crazy, but Kendall finds herself drawn to the desk, dreaming of Nico and wondering if maybe she, too, will disappear…and whether that would be so bad. Alone in her depression and with her OCD at an all-time high, Kendall notices something that connects Nico and Tiffany: they both sat at the same desk.

Already off-balance due to her OCD, 16-year-old Kendall is freaked out seeing Tiffany’s empty desk in the one-room school house, but somehow life goes on… until Kendall’s boyfriend Nico also disappears, and also without a trace. The community of Cryer’s Cross, Montana (population 212) is distraught when high school freshman Tiffany disappears without a trace.
