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 Lets 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.
