What happens when a horror movie becomes reality? Karen M. McManus meets Scream in this spine-tingling YA horror thriller that cleverly explores themes of race and class.

Devon Harris doesn't have much planned for the summer—until her sister, Drew, invites Devon to a very exclusive private school party.

Out of her element, Devon commits to being game at everything. Even when the private school kids ask her if there are fights at her school. Even when they ask her if her box braids are her real hair. Even when those weird ass kids pull out a Ouija board.

But this seemingly harmless bit of fun has terrible consequences. Something has been released, and only a week later it's hunting Devon, Drew and their friends. Hunting them in an eerily familiar way...

The real-life horror movie has begun. The blonde is up first, then the asshole—right up to the Final Girl. Unless the murderous cycle can be broken, they're all going to be next.

About the Author

Joelle Wellington grew up in Brooklyn, New York, where her childhood was spent wandering the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Her love of the written word led her to a B.A. in Creative Writing and International Studies. When she isn't writing, she's reading and when she's not doing that, she's attempting to bake bread with varying degrees of success. Her work, Cottonmouth, has been published in Apex Magazine.
