Summary
When December Holiday stumbles out of the woods in the middle of a snowstorm seven years after her mysterious disappearance, disoriented and amnesiac, Noelle thinks her sister's return is a miracle. But her joy is not destined to last. Because when Dess came back, she didn't come back the same.
The old Dess never used to sleepwalk. The old Dess wouldn't go out in the yard at night and start feverishly digging in the dirt with her bare hands. The old Dess didn't stand over her sister's bed, watching her sleep and whispering things in her ear.
In the light of day, this new Dess can almost pass for the old one. But in the dark dread of night, Noelle becomes increasingly convinced that something is deeply wrong with her sister. Proving her suspicions will push Noelle to the limits of her sanity, and closer and closer to a horrifying truth: That sometimes, there are far worse fates than death.
