Vera has been sleepwalking through life since her twin sister Ava disappeared a dozen years ago from their Northern California hometown. Just as Vera is ready to start anew at college, Ava reappears, offering a chance for family healing even as questions about Ava's past remain. Lack of character depth and a plot that at times strains credulity mar this otherwise engrossing suspense novel.

After her sister's friend Perdita drowns mysteriously in a nearby lake, sixteen-year-old Arielle has strange, supernatural experiences. Although friendship and family struggles distract her, the psychic incidents are strengthening; Arielle suspects Perdita may be trying to reach her, perhaps with a message about her death. This fast-paced mystery strikes an excellent balance between realism and ghostly horror.
