Synopsis

Elissa. Alyssa. Alissa. Three girls meet at a boarding school for troubled teens. A few years later, they were dead. Elissa's best friend sets out to discover what happened to them, following the only clues they left behind: their uncannily similar names and their shared tattoo - Save Our Souls.

There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for Elissa, and she knew it.

Samantha and her best friend Elissa don't follow the rules, stealing drinks, pulling pranks, and having boys over in Samantha's basement. Until Elissa is sent away, to a school designed to reform wealthy, wayward teenagers. A year later, she is dead.

In Samantha's grief, she scours Elissa's social media pages and notices memorial messages from two girls called Alyssa and Alissa. Both sign off their messages with 'Save Our Souls' - a phrase Elissa had tattooed on her ribs. Samantha learns that they were Elissa's closest friends at the school, sharing both her name and penchant for partying, with drugs and alcohol having become their norm. Too soon, Alyssa and Alissa are also dead.

Elissa. Alyssa. Alissa. Following the only clues they left behind - their uncannily similar names and their shared tattoo - Samantha sets out to discover what happened to The Elissas. Save our souls...

A stunning true story, perfect for fans of We Were Liars and true crime readers alike.
