In a drowned city, where hope kills and dreams are deadly, one wrong thought can end your life. Haunted 17-year-old outcast Cole is desperate to suppress her macabre obsession with the Mara-taken before she becomes one. When a stranger with unsettling gold eyes offers a chance to escape her rule-bound existence, it-and he-prove a dangerous distraction. The body count is on the rise and the ghost, who won't leave her side isn't the only one with something to hide. Join Cole on a mission of discovery and revenge from the perilous heights of the Towers of Refuge to the glittering club lurking below the floodwaters. With the dead piling up at every turn, can she untangle the lies and stop the dying before the nightmares eat her alive? A not-quite-alive girl and her not-quite-dead ghost discover trusted authorities lie, allies have their own agendas and even the monsters wear masks in a journey of betrayal, revenge, and finding the power to fight back.

Summary

A haunted teen outcast and her snarky ghost outwit enforcers, monsters, and the scars of the past in a race to expose a deadly conspiracy before it ends in blood. Discover a labyrinthine, post-climate-collapse dystopian Vancouver overrun by monsters and magic, perfect for intricate dark fantasy fans of Emily A. Duncan, Victoria Schwab, and Cassandra Clare in this lush, award-winning series starter. It's hard not to be a little obsessed with survival when your only "friend" is an unruly ghost and the wrong thought gets your soul devoured by eldritch horrors. Haunted 17-year-old Cole wants nothing more than to hide her forbidden fascination with the monster-taken and blend in with the (mindless) crowd. Her dull life takes a turn for the deadly when a mesmerizing stranger and his dangerously tempting offer drive her into the middle of a grisly conspiracy. But Cole hasn't yet uncovered the biggest secret of all, and it might just have something to do with the mysterious threads tugging her into horrifying visions-not to mention the shimmering boy at their dark heart. Uncovering the truth will cost her dearly as she fends off scheming enforcers, dreamjacking ghosts, and soul-sucking nightmares in a desperate quest for survival and retribution. Can she escape the scars of her past and expose the lies before she's the next to die? Blind the Eyes is the first book in a lush and labyrinthine trilogy of paranormal-meets-gothic-dystopian YA Urban Fantasy filled with glittering underworlds, delicious-and-deceptive strangers, and facing down the voices in your head. This slow-burn fantasy with an edge leads readers on a captivatingly unexpected journey of self-discovery, reclaimed identity, and conflicted sisterhood for those who like a little sparkle with their monsters (it glistens so nicely on all the blood.) Fans of post-climate-collapse dystopias, monsters-and-magic, gorgeous prose, and genre-bending dark fantasy will love this award-winning series starter in a complete and 100% binge-ready trilogy.
