Publisher Description
A fast-paced psychological thriller with a shocking twist, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden.
During a freak car crash when she was twelve years old, Mia Germaine died alongside her father. A heart transplant from a young murder victim brought her back to life, but not without a price.
Twenty years later, chilling nightmares about that unresolved homicide begin to haunt Mia's dreams. Against her will, she forms a complicated connection to the victim—the girl murdered the night of Mia's accident—due to a scientific phenomenon called "organ memory."
The only way to stop the nightmares is to avenge a dead girl by catching the infamous serial killer dubbed the "Triangle Terror." Only one person is willing to help her, the one person Mia would die for ... and if she's not careful, she just might.
But there's something Mia doesn't know about the girl who was murdered. And even more she doesn't know about her fateful car accident. As she tries to piece together the clues in her nightmares, a killer is just getting started.
From USA TODAY bestselling author Pamela Crane comes a twisty thriller about the monsters that hide in plain sight.

Great read
I enjoyed this book and will most likely read more of her books. Entertaining read!
5 star literary thriller with well-crafted twist
Rarely do I find a thriller that is written with such vivid prose that I can see, taste, and feel everything happening. Along with its delicious prose, the storyline was refreshingly unique. Following an organ transplant, Mia starts having nightmares, only to discover the organ she received came from a murder victim. As the narrative touches on this concept with light penstrokes, it brings the drama to life as a serial killer is targeting young girls and Mia must stop them.
The author shares the real-life story that inspired this book, which was particularly fascinating. Add to it some gritty behind-the-scenes insights into the killer's mind, and it's a shocking read once we find out who the killer is and why.
If you're looking for an original plot, powerful writing, and fast-paced thrills, I highly recommend this 5-star novel. I'm already beginning my next Pamela Crane book.
