After all that time, the people left behind moved on, or tried
to.Until today. Today five of those kids return. They're sixteen, and
they are . . . fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mother she barely
recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed
to be, either. But she thinks she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers
Scarlett, too, except they're entirely unable to recall where they've
been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the
sixth victim, Max. He doesn't come back. Everyone wants answers.
Most of all Max's sister Avery, who needs to find her brother - dead

YA AND Anderson, Jodi Lynn The Vanishing Season
Girls started vanishing in the fall, and now winter's come to lay a
white sheet over the horror. Door County, it seems, is swallowing
the young, right into its very dirt. From beneath the house on Water
Street, I've watched the danger swell.
The residents know me as the noises in the house at night, the
creaking on the stairs. I'm the reflection behind them in the glass,
the feeling of fear in the cellar. I'm tied—it seems—to this house,
this street, this town.
I'm tied to Maggie and Pauline, though I don't know why. I think
it's because death is coming for one of them, or both.
All I know is that the present and the past are piling up, and I am
here to dig. I am looking for the things that are buried.

life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants any part
of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and it's clear
she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that
losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting a
second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and
she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked
out for her - even if the old Sam treated him like trash.
But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her
that night aren't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory - someone
else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet.
