Description: After dinner, Emma Carter's mother tells her to take out her lungs and wash them. That should be impossible. It should also be a joke. But when her little sister calmly heads for the sink like this is normal, Emma realizes something far worse is happening-her family is no longer human... or she isn't in the world she thought she knew. In a city full of smiling strangers, impossible bodies, and hospitals where patients beg not to die, Emma is trapped in a nightmare where one wrong reaction could expose her. Desperate to survive, she hunts for answers in disappearing online posts, cryptic warnings, and the last clues left behind by her boyfriend, Ethan. Everyone tells her the hospital is the only way to be saved. Everything she sees tells her it's a slaughterhouse. And the more Emma resists this twisted world's rules, the more dangerous her own home becomes-especially when her mother still acts like she loves her, and her sister watches like she knows exactly what Emma really is. But the truth behind the monsters is stranger than Emma ever imagined. If she can't uncover what happened to her before this world swallows her whole, she may lose more than her life-she may lose her place in reality itself.
