About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 bestselling author of The Island is back with another pulse-pounding, twisty read!

Haunted by the past . . . terrified of the present.


Penny knows she must forget about her ex, Nash. Ever since his father was revealed as the brutal serial killer who traumatized their small town last Halloween, Penny’s parents have forbidden her to have anything to do with Nash or his family. It’s hard not to think of him—but she’s trying.

That stops when she goes shopping with friends for a costume. What she finds instead is ripped from a horror movie: someone from school bleeding out on the floor of a dressing room. Stabbed.

People are quick to blame Nash and his sister, Grace, but as Halloween nears and the body count rises, Penny can’t help thinking this copycat killer is someone no one else suspects. . . .

I've not even finished this book and I'm already adding all her books to my wish list in case they come up in the sales.
I did struggle when this started in that it felt like it was a sequel and I kept feeling like I had missed the first book. however, once I finally relented and googled and discovered this was its own story I begun to really enjoy it. I love Karen McManus and have struggled to find other writers in the same vein. although this is told from one character's perspective, and km is usually multiple, it was good. there are enough potentials that I've not yet guessed who the killer is. it's YA so pretty lite on the sex. the narrator has a really pleasant tone and they don't have to put on fake voices for other characters.

I can't believe no one has rated this yet
