The disappearance of a mysterious informant leads two people desperate for answers to an island of deadly deception..

Talia March, Pallas Llewellyn, and Amelia Rivers, bonded by a night none of them can remember, are dedicated to uncovering the mystery of what really happened to them months ago—an experience that amplified innate psychic abilities in each of them. The women suspect they were test subjects years earlier, and that there are more people like them—all they have to do is find the list of others who took that same test. When Talia follows up on a lead from Phoebe Hatch, a fan of the trio’s podcast, she discovers that the informant has vanished.

Talia isn’t the only one looking for Phoebe, however. Luke Rand, a hunted and haunted man who is chasing the same list that Talia is after, also shows up at the meeting place. It’s clear he has his own agenda, and they are instantly suspicious of each other. But when a killer begins to stalk them, they realize they have to join forces to find Phoebe and the list.

The rocky investigation leads Talia and Luke to a rustic, remote retreat on Night Island in the Pacific Northwest, where the Unplugged Experience promises to rejuvenate guests.
Upon their arrival, Talia and Luke discover they are quite literally cut off from the outside world when none of their high-tech devices work on the island. It soon becomes clear that Phoebe is not the first person to disappear into the strange gardens that surround the Unplugged Experience.

And then the first mysterious death occurs. …

“Krentz is back with an adrenaline-infused, paranormal-tinged romantic suspense novel that makes the most of its isolated island setting … Readers will come for Krentz’s can’t-putit-down plotting and stay for the combustible sexual chemistry and delightfully quippy banter.”—Booklist, starred review

“Narrator Eva Kaminsky portrays three women who spent a night together and awoke with psychic abilities they hadn’t had before. Now one of them, Phoebe, has gone missing. … They track Phoebe to a remote retreat on Night Island, where they encounter the night gardener, whom Kaminsky depicts with an ethereal quality that suggests a touch of madness. She further builds the tension as Talia and Luke encounter dead bodies. Kaminsky’s performance enhances the listening experience as romantic sparks fly between Talia and Luke, who work to get to the bottom of all the strange doings.”— AudioFile
