Publisher's summary

Scream meets Happy Death Day in this terrifying stand-alone horror novel from YA scream queen Danielle Valentine.

"This terrifying book reads like a horror movie. No, wait. It has the suspense and shocks and screams of TEN horror movies in one. Great nasty fun!"—R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street

Alice Lawrence is the sole witness in her sister’s murder trial.

And in the year since Claire’s death, Alice’s life has completely fallen apart. Her parents have gotten divorced, she’s moved into an apartment that smells like bologna, and she is being forced to face her sister’s killer and a courtroom full of people who doubt what she saw in the corn maze a year prior.

Claire was an all-American girl, beautiful and bubbly, and a theater star. Alice was a nerd who dreamed of becoming a forensic pathologist and would rather stay at home to watch her favorite horror movies than party. Despite their differences, they were bonded by sisterhood and were each other’s best friends.

Until Claire was taken away from her.

On the first day of the murder trial, as Alice prepares to give her testimony, she is knocked out by a Sidney Prescott look-alike in the courthouse bathroom. When she wakes up, it is Halloween night a year earlier, the same day Claire was murdered. Alice has until midnight to save her sister and find the real killer before he claims another victim.

Red Harrings GALORE

Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was listening. The last half of the book, I couldn’t stop listening. I went on an extra walk a day to finish it! I was NOT expecting that ending!!!!

ending sucks

I was really disappointed by the ending. It ruined the whole book for me. It gave me more questions than anything and did not give me a good feeling when I was done. Plus, is there going to be another one or just end it like that??

Spoiler Alert

Loved the author not giving us the ending we expected and gave us somewhat of "cliff hanger" as in where does it go from here? Will there be a book 2 or will there just be this ending.... You see where the author is leading you and you have several different possibilities to latch on to and you will be suspicious of one if not all the possible suspects. Worth the read and for a me a change in my typical listen/reads.

So fun

This was a fun and far read. I seriously was guessing (questioning everyone) and couldn’t turn this book off. And that ending. Woah!
