Read OnlineSixteen-year-old Allie kim suffers from Xeroderma Pigmentosum: a fatal allergy to sunlight that confines her and her two best friends, Rob and Juliet, to the night. When freewheeling Juliet introduces Allie and Rob to Parkour - the stunt-sport of scaling and leaping off tall buildings, risky by day and potentially deadly in darkness - Allie feels truly alive, equal to the "daytimers". But on a random summer night , while practicing Parkour on an apartment building, the trio catches a glimpse of what appears to be a murder. Allie alone takes it upon herself to investigate. Navigating the shadowy world of specialized XP care, extreme sports, and forbidden love, she ultimately uncovers a secret that upends everything she believes about the people she trust the most...at an unthinkable price.
