DO YOU DARE STEP OUT ALONE? SCREAM meets SCOOBY DOO –
Join Buffy, Jonesy, Amber and Cam as they investigate a chilling
string of murders in their local town. From the bestselling
author of Let’s Split Up.
It’s a year after the events of Sanera left the town reeling.
Buffy, Jonesy, Amber and Cam found the killer behind the murder
of the hot it couple at school, but now there is a copycat killer
on the loose. Back in town for the annual Halloween festival,
the bodies start piling up. First the gang stumble on a single
body in an alleyway, but soon, there is another shocking murder.
The issue is everyone visiting the town is in fancy dress, and it’s
making it difficult to work out who the real face is behind
the fresh murders. An online forum is filled with speculation
about local legends, and there is a clue buried within it …
if the gang can work it out, they will be able to stop the killer
in their tracks… but it’s possible the killer is
one step ahead. And there is a grand finale planned at the manor…
if they make it there… alive.
A nail-biting and perfectly formed Thriller for the YA
BookTok generation.
