I can’t feel sadness, anger, or fear. I can’t feel anything. I've grown talented at pretending.

Elizabeth Caldwell doesn't experience emotions—she sees them. Anxiety walks the halls of her school. Longing hovers around the boy who watches her with adoring eyes. Resentment lurks at her abusive home. But none of them can touch her. None of them understand why, and all of them have given up.

All, that is, except Fear.

Beautiful, unsettling Fear refuses to let Elizabeth go. Sometimes a tormentor, sometimes her only protector, he’s obsessed with unraveling the truth. What happened to make her this way?

When dreamlike visions begin to surface, and her paintings fill with death and sorrow, Elizabeth begins to suspect her lack of emotion isn’t natural. Then a shadowy force begins to stalk her every step. Suddenly Elizabeth’s survival depends on confronting what she was never meant to know.

And learning whether she can feel anything at all before it’s too late.

For readers who crave a touch of romance, a hint of horror, and a beautifully strange world, Some Quiet Place is where emotion takes form, and secrets don’t stay buried.
