For fans of John Green and Rainbow Rowell A normal teenager Dean Knight is not. With a mental illness that threatens to take over his sanity; a sister who’s deep in her own problems; and a wasted mother who couldn’t care less about it all, Dean is left to battle real life on his own. School, bullies and medications are his realities. Then there are also the ghosts, the hallucinations and of course – the monster. In the middle of it all, when everything seems to lose purpose, hope comes shining down on Dean’s miserable life. Her name is Ella and for one reason or another, she actually wants to be close to Dean. With Ella’s help, the lost teenage boy decides that he could finally win a battle or two – both in real life and in his writing. But hope is a tricky thing. And the monster seems to know that. When secrets buried down for almost a decade come out in the open, what do you do?

In the second book of the Knight series, Dean Knight tries to cope with his serious injury and mental illness which leaves him confused and with most of his memory gone. The dark secrets of his and his family's past torment him as much as the voices that he hears and the visions of his dead father and sister which pop up during the times when he is least likely able to deal with them effectively. He finds himself torn among three girls that seem to like him. One of them wants to use his talents for her own gain, another one represents a past he would just as soon forget, and the final one has her own mental problems to deal with. Even with his mental illness, Dean manages to resume a somewhat normal existence, but it doesn't last long when the jock who caused his twin sister's death enters back into Dean's life. Can a team of mental professionals, including a psychiatrist with his own unorthodox methods, save Dean once again before the stress in his life and the bullying he faces destroy him forever?
