Summary
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. My father’s an engineering genius. My ability to math is probably the one good I got from him.”
“You call him a whole-ass ‘father?’ Not ‘dad?’”
“Like I said, the one good. His brain is all he’s good for, anyway.”

In which moving to Hurricane, Utah thrusts you into a battle over life and death.
Okay-- maybe that's a little overdramatic, but making new friends in a small town is difficult, especially when everyone seems to know each other. That being said, the one person you do end up close to is somehow tied to the disappearances of several children, a mystery that's lasted for six long years. Surely you'll be fine -- you're not the target group, and neither is he. Yet lingering in the back of your mind is a less than gentle possibility:
