The Invisible Monsters

High school senior Gwenore is ignored or bullied because everyone in Fort Danes, a middle-of-nowhere town, remembers what she did. She lied about two terrible things as a kid: being blind and her best friend’s kidnapping. She’s as awful as the monster she could have sworn took Billie—the inhuman being she fantasizes about every night, the one who looked at her like no one ever had. Like she was worth noticing . . .

But Billie denies she was ever taken.

What really happened to Billie is a mystery that’s lasted ten years. Gwenore wants answers, but more than anything, she just wants to fit in . . . somewhere. It’s no wonder she’s become obsessed with the strange school in the nearby woods.

When a new eccentric teacher comes along, promising to teach her about Hilltop Institute and missing children, she gets pulled into a dark world of shadow-beasts, betrayals, and vendettas. Soon she’ll have to choose a side. Fight for the innocent or defend the monsters . . . The only problem is she doesn’t know who’s who.
