In the wake of the attack, Melanie tries to pull her life back together with the help of Jeremy, who realizes he has feelings for her beyond friendship. Just as things start to go her way, she starts to receive creepy notes from her attacker, promising to finish what he started. And to make things more complicated, Jeremy has a dark secret that Melanie's not sure she can accept. Can Melanie and Jeremy reveal the identity of her stalker before he attacks again? Will Jeremy's secret tear them apart? And will the mysterious dog save her in the end, like he did in the beginning? **This is a YA Paranormal Romance intended for teens and adults 16+ due to language and sexual situations. less
