A sleepover at an amusement park takes a chilling turn in this pulse-pounding horror from the New York Times bestselling author of Mine and Camp Scare.

Turning fun into fear...

Tonight is Brie's chance to finally be accepted by the Ems—the most popular girls at school. If she can just keep one potentially reputation-ending secret under wraps, she'll have the best night of her life, screaming on scary rides and running the Wildwoods amusement park with her new friends.

But when the Ems take a game of truth or dare too far, Brie ends up alone in a creepy abandoned section of the park. There, she meets a group of cool older teens that invite her to join them. They seem friendly enough.

Little does Brie know she's about to come face to face with a reawakened evil that wants to take her on the ride of her life...make that her death.
