Mallory killed her boyfriend, Brian. She can't remember the details of that night but everyone knows it was self-defense, so she isn't charged. But Mallory still feels Brian's presence in her life. Is it all in her head? Or is it something more? In desperate need of a fresh start, Mallory is sent to Monroe, a fancy prep school where no one knows her . . . or anything about her past. But the feeling follows her, as do her secrets. Then, one of her new classmates turns up dead. As suspicion falls on Mallory, she must find a way to remember the details of both deadly nights so she can prove her innocence-to herself and others. 

In another riveting tale of life and death, Megan Miranda's masterful storytelling brings readers along for a ride to the edge of sanity and back again.

My teaser:

"Sometimes I think I can feel him," I said.  "Hear him, even.  I mean, I do.  I do feel him.  I do hear him.  Like he's right here..."  I shuddered, imagining him watching me even now.

So, this is a psychological thriller on the same level as the Mara Dyer series, which I love in case you were wondering.  :)  I love when the narrator is unreliable and leaves you guessing as to the state of their sanity.  I can't wait to delve further into this one, especially because I loved Megan Miranda's debut novel Fracture so freaking much.
