Publisher Description
Now a Netflix Feature Film!
“A heart-pounding page-turner with an outstanding cast of characters, a deliciously creepy setting, and an absolutely merciless body count.” –Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie and The Project
A New York Times bestseller
It’s been almost a year since Makani Young came to live with her grandmother and she’s still adjusting to her new life in rural Nebraska. Then, one by one, students at her high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair.
As the body count rises and the terror grows closer, can Makani survive the killer’s twisted plan?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Raised in Hawaii, Makani Young has moved to small-town Nebraska to live with her grandmother. As her senior year begins, students at her new high school are being murdered by what looks to be a serial killer. After the first death, Perkins (Anna and the French Kiss) spaces out the killings (at first), developing Makani's story and establishing her romance with classmate Ollie, a pink-haired loner who, like Makani, has some secrets. In so doing, Perkins lulls readers into a false sense of security before twisting the knife, figuratively and literally. The murders are both grisly and psychologically unnerving, and the novel's intense realism makes them all the more disturbing; Perkins carefully weaves in everyday details that include the casual racism Makani encounters, a football player's worry about sensing symptoms of degenerative brain disease, and past events in Hawaii that Makani keeps to herself part of the "wall of unspoken, unspeakable history" between her and Ollie. Even after the killer is identified, the body count keeps rising, leaving readers with questions of motive and where it will all end. Ages 14 up.
Customer Reviews
Presently surprised
I feel like nowadays instead of reading the book and watching the movie it’s you watch the movie and then get curious and get the book. I was presently surprised at the differences, but now I’m deeply curious as to why they changed how the story played out. However this book was a thrilling read I was so annoyed when I had to put it down to do other things highly recommend,
Horrible. I’d rather burn my eyes than read another sentence
If you have a reading level higher than a five year old you’ll find the way this book is written to be horrendous. Amazing descriptive words… the author really liked to use “egg-shaped” to describe how things are shaped.
Don’t even get me started on how “Brooke’s voice was a wicked grin.” One star for making me laugh because of how bad it is!
A fast-paced and easy read.
This book was great! Kept me hooked from start to finish. It was one of those books that didn't have any unnecessary filler, so it was easy to keep reading and made it insanely hard to put down. I swear that there was always SOMETHING interesting going on that kept me coming back to read more. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up if you're a fan of cute romances, mysterious backstories, and (as morbid as it is) murder!
