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.

A year has passed since the events in Sanera left the town reeling. Buffy, Jonesy, Amber and Cam unmasked the killer of 2001, but now, a new horror stirs. Back for the inaugural Hallowed Fall Fest where tourists wander the streets in masks and costumes, the bodies start piling up. With each new death, the gang is left a cryptic clue, leading them deeper into a horrifying mystery.

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. It all leads to a grand finale, back where it all began…if they can make it there…alive.

A nail-biting and perfectly formed Thriller for the YA BookTok generation.
