Summary
How far would you go to
escape your own personal teenage hell? Would you run away, break away from
everything you know—even your own body?
Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock could not be more different, yet they all have something in common—deep and soul-searing pain. They are also all students at Streep Academy, a boarding school just one step away from juvie, where they've come to complete high school. The three have been relegated to Harvell House, the residence reserved for the hardest cases, the so-called Rejects from Reject Row.
In the forbidden attic of the old Victorian house-turned-residence, the girls discover the diary of Connie Harvell, a young woman who was confined and abused there some 50 years ago. In the end, Connie’s attic prison couldn't hold her—not completely. She found a way out. At least a dark part of her did. And after reading her diary, the girls discover they can escape at will too. A terrifying, thrilling flight from their bodies and their troubles.
But God help them, their pain isn't all they leave behind when they join with the night.
And God help anyone who’s wronged them...

Excerpt
Chapter 15
“Melissa
is not a skank,” he retorted. “Unlike some people I could mention.”
The
words slid into Brooke’s heart like a hot knife going through butter, straight
and sure and devastating. The pain shocked her, even though she knew it
shouldn’t. She’d known Seth resented her for giving it up to someone else, and
hadn’t he been avoiding her like the plague? But somehow, she’d been unprepared
for it. The armor she’d been building around her heart should have provided
more protection. Guess she’d have to work on that. Starting now.
“Unlike
me, you mean?” Brooke smiled, letting it cover the hurt. “Well, that’s okay. I
seem to remember you liking my skankiness just fine.”
She stepped forward and laid a hand on his chest, and was rewarded by how hard
his heart pounded. “Come on, admit it, Seth. You liked what we did together.”
The words were bitter in her mouth. “You want to do it again.”
She tugged his t-shirt out of his jeans and laid her hands
on his skin beneath, and he tipped his head back and groaned. The sound
suffused her with a sudden sense of power, and she grabbed at it. Anything to
push back the pain, the self-loathing. She did have
power over him, with this.
