You can only hide from your nightmares for so long.
Seventeen-year-old Hylee Williams didn’t ask to disappear. But she did disappear, and not only that, but when she vanished from our world, she materialized in a dark, twisted version of the night that changed her life forever: the night her older brother went missing.
Just as Hylee realizes this moment could be the key to unraveling the truth about her brother, she’s yanked away from the dark place back to our world. Craving a sense of normalcy, she goes to a party with her best friend–where she meets Eilam Roads. Tall, handsome, and undeniably, inexplicably familiar, Hylee can’t help the pull she feels towards him. It’s a classic teen girl-meets-boy situation, until it happens again. She disappears, right in front of him.
Together, Hylee and Eilam investigate the truth about time, space, and reality, with Hylee increasingly convinced her time travel holds the key to saving her brother. But the more they learn, the more Hylee begins to see darkness lurking in her world–and in herself.
Britney S. Lewis’s sophomore novel combines the quotable relatability, swoony romance, and emotional resonance of John Green with the surrealist horror imagery and razor-sharp wit of Jordan Peele. At once haunting and enchanting and entirely unforgettable.

Why I’m Waiting: I read and loved her first book, The Undead Truth of Us, so I’m sure I’ll love this one too! And by what this synopsis sounds like, it’s all the things that I want: creepy, weird, and cool! And this cover is slightly my favorite of 2023 so far. All these horror books with things on their face or coming out of their mouth and I am LOVING it. Not only does it look cool, but it also looks creepy lol I can’t wait to get my hands on this!
What about you? Have you read her first horror novel? What do you think of this over? What about the cover trend? Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! This one does sound creepy good! I am noticing a trend with some 2023 books and things coming out of their faces. It is creepy but oh so intriguing! Lol! Going to keep an eye on this one!
