Strange things occur in the slumbering town of Trinity Falls.

My lonely, die-proof routine here isn’t perfect, but it leaves no room for surprises. My days aren’t numbered but blurred together by the amount of coffee cups while writing my novel, and the hours spent investigating the Tell-Tale Killer. The one who leaves bodies like love letters, and the one who haunts my every sleeping hour. 

I’ve also been watching him. The man who purchased Morose Manor around the same time the murders began. His name is Orion—forlorn, cold, a cruel closed book with lips as cutting as his words—and he’s determined to be left alone. Except, just as I’m about to get a break in the case, I wake up on October 13th again, one year earlier, and he is pulled into the past with me.

He wants nothing to do with me, but the only way back to the present is for us to work together to find out who is behind the murders. And as we continue to fall backwards through time, our nightmarish event takes me down another spiral: one of forbidden feelings I can’t escape. Neither of us know that our secretive pasts bind us in a deadly connection that could tear us apart until it’s too late. What if I’ve been staring into the eyes of the Tell-Tale Killer all along?

We have two choices: stop time from reversing and pay the ultimate price of death and betrayal or live in the past together until the clock runs out.
