Chapter 31 Summary

Willa emerges from her vision to find herself on the floor and Reed standing over her. He helps her to the kitchen for water, and Willa internally concludes that Jonathan is the Hollywood Killer. Her conviction intensifies when she has a sudden vision of the backyard pool filled with blood, which vanishes when she blinks.


Reed, who has retrieved Jonathan’s laptop, questions Willa about the files she discovered. When she mentions the name of the Hollywood Killer’s first victim, Brianna Logan, Reed becomes flustered and points out that Jonathan was in Connecticut when the most recent victim was killed, though he admits that Jonathan returned home briefly. Dismissing her concerns, Reed leaves. Alone and now doubting her conclusion, Willa hears a sound from downstairs.

Chapter 32 Summary

Hearing footsteps, Willa follows a supernatural stream of water to Jonathan’s office, where “GET OUT” is scrawled everywhere and rose petals lead to an open window. She finds the phone line cut and escapes via a trellis. Trapped on the property, she follows more petals to the guest cottage. Inside a closet, she discovers a hidden door leading to a secret basement studio belonging to Diana Del Mar.
