The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly

In this gripping young adult thriller, a drug deal gone wrong forces two sisters to face life-threatening decisions and unearth dark secrets before time runs out.

“This tale of undeterred sisterly love is a primal scream that will not be ignored.”—The New York Times Book Review

“A heart-pounding thriller and a searing critique of how our society treats girls and women.”—Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone

When band geek Ivy and her friends get together, things start with a rousing board game and end with arguments about Star Wars.

Her older sister, Autumn, is a different story. Enigmatic, aloof, and tough as nails, Autumn hasn’t had real friends—or trusted anyone—in years. Even Ivy. But Autumn may not be tough enough. After a drug deal gone wrong, Autumn is beaten, bound, and held captive. Now trapped between life and death, she leaves her body, seeking help. No one can sense her presence—except her sister.

When Autumn doesn’t come home, Ivy just knows she’s in trouble. Unable to escape the chilling feeling that something isn’t right, Ivy follows a string of clues that bring her closer to rescuing her sister . . . and closer to danger.

Autumn needs Ivy to find her before time runs out. But soon, both sisters realize that finding her also means untangling the secrets that lead to the truth—about where they’re hiding Autumn, and what Autumn has been hiding.
