The gory but gripping action is at least half the story, and it gradually reveals the killers and their motivation for the slaughter. If you’re a fan of slasher horror, this book is for you.

He might not be popular with the adults but he is gazed upon by students as if he were a local rock star. He was a key figure in a terrible tragedy in the town, then labelled an arsonist as well. She gets to know Janet, Cole, Matt and Ronnie who are super confident and always looking for an opportunity, or setting one up, for content on Cole’s YouTube channel.Ĭole has only just returned to school. Quinn gets caught up in this before she knows what happened. A few students are heckling the teacher, who in turn gets more and more wound up, eventually blowing a fuse and ordering them to in-school suspension. Quinn’s father is the new doctor in town, and she doesn’t realise how much he needed the move away from Philadelphia. Her plan is to remain low key for her final year before college. Quinn is prepared to make it work at her new school.
