Bookroo's summary

Riley and his friends stumble upon mysterious binoculars that reveal unsettling visions. As these visions start becoming reality, including a murder implicating one of their own, Riley must unravel the truth. Are they glimpsing the future, and can they alter its course before it's too late? With friendships on the line and secrets exposed, Riley faces a chilling race against time.

From the publisher

If you could see the future, would you want to? After the disturbing visions Riley and his friends see turn out to be more than hallucinations, fate takes a dangerous twist in this dark and suspenseful page-turner. Riley and his friends are gearing up for their senior year by spending one last night hanging out in the woods, drinking a few beers, and playing Truth or Dare. But what starts out as a good time turns sinister when they find a mysterious pair of binoculars. Those who dare to look through them see strange visions, which they brush off as hallucinations. Why else would Riley see himself in bed with his best friend’s girlfriend–a girl he’s had a secret crush on for years? In the weeks that follow, the visions begin to come true…including a gruesome murder. One of Riley’s closest friends is now the prime suspect. But who is the murderer? Have Riley and his friends really seen the future through those mysterious binoculars? And what if they are powerless to change the course of events?
