Whoever said you can\'t go home again was right.
F*ck no! - Jennifer Dinsmore, editor of The Aphotic series..
No, no.
Tobin, I don\'t trust you.
Don\'t like this at all.
Nope.
Embarking on the most bizarre road trip imaginable, Lex will have to face her demons-both real and imagined-in order to rediscover any hope in a town where hope has always gone to die.
No pressure.
It\'s also Lex\'s last chance to get her shit together.
A bargain that will, apparently, hopefully, save her life and deliver her mother\'s murderer.
Those plans go awry when a mysterious woman, known to the locals as Spooky Talia, asks a seemingly impossible favour of Lex take up a quest for a mythical talisman so she can strike a bargain with a vicious group of bloodsuckers who aren\'t known for their patience.
Screw what\'s left of her so-called family.
Taking comfort in the presence of old friends-and a possible new lover-Lex plans to again leave No Hope in the rear-view as fast as possible.
The family home is in shambles, her father is in decline, and her brother is, somehow, an even bigger asshole than before.
Once there, Lex discovers things are worse than she thought.
Then her mother is brutally murdered, and Lex finds herself on the long, desolate drive back home.
She really needs to start getting her shit together.
Ten years down the road, the past can\'t seem to stay in the past and her life is in disarray.
Leave it in the rear-view, just like her hometown.
She doesn\'t allow herself to go there.
No.
Not after...
Never wanted to.
When Lex left No Hope, she had no plans to return.
And now she really wishes she hadn\'t.
Lex tried.
