"A ... novel of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and romance,
and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat ...
Adrian Rizzo was seven when she met her her for the first
time. That was the day he nearly killed her--before her mother,
Lina, stepped in. Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her
grandparents' house in Maryland, where she spent a long summer
drinking lemonade, playing with dogs, making a new best
friend--and developing the stirrings of a crush on her friend's
ten-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the country
promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar
business. There was no point in dwelling on the past. A decade
later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout
videos, following in Lina's footsteps but intent on maintaining
creative control. And she's just as cool-headed and ambitious as
her mother. They aren't close, but they're cordial--as long as
neither crosses the other. But while Lina dismisses the death
threats that Adrian starts getting as a routine part of her
daughter's growing celebrity, Adrian can't help but find the
vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep
arriving--the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same.
They continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes
reacquainted with Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and
as gorgeously green-eyed as ever. Sometimes it even seems like
the terrifying messages are indeed routine, like nothing will
come of them. Until the murders start, and the escalation
begins"--
