New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard returns to paranormal romance with a suspenseful and darkly atmospheric summer mystery with fiery kisses and haunting melodies.Magpie Adams, a lonely teen pariah in the tourist town of Two Pines, finds her reputation in tatters after her ex-boyfriend cheated on her and then lied about it. With her only true friends being the dramatic Adeliade and her brooding twin brother Buck Taylor, Magpie finds solace in romance novels, and in noticing the tiny details that everyone else seems to miss.Things turn eerie when a museum exhibit honouring Two for Joy, the cult-classic romance filmed in that very town, gets vandalized: fake magpies are impaled with knitting needles, a mannequin is mutilated, blood is spilled. The town people brush it off as a prank. But Magpie knows better. Especially when the attacks seem to follow her.Magpie begins to suspect someone is recreating scenes from the movie, and she might be the stand-in for a missing woman from the 1970s: Becky, the forgotten body double whose face looks eerily like her own. Someone is covering up a decades-old death tied to the film's crew. And someone doesn't want the truth revealed.As the mystery spirals toward murder, Magpie must use her uncanny empathy to uncover the past, and survive the present. Because Becky's story was never told.Until now.
