"Smart, slick and sensational" – The Nerd Daily


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.
