About the Book

There may only be one killer, but no one is innocent in this new young adult thriller from Natasha Preston, author of THE CELLAR, a New York Times bestseller, and AWAKE.

They think they're invincible.
They think they can do and say whatever they want.
They think there are no consequences.
They've left me no choice.
It's time for them to pay for their sins.

Fact: August is bittersweet. Even though it’s still *technically* summer, we can’t help but notice that it’s more than halfway over. So we’re trying to make the most of it, despite the mind-numbing, crippling heat wave we’ve been dealing with in NYC. The silver lining is that we’re becoming real AC experts, and we’ll have the perfect reasons to stay indoors this Friday, when the Olympics and Suicide Squad grace screens big and small. We’re so pumped that the most anticipated entertainment events of the season are finally here that we find ourselves not only tolerating Katy Perry’s Olympics anthem “Rise,” but even listening to it in our off-hours. Anticipation and competitive sports make us do the craziest things!

As Howard Schultz always says, the best thing about August is that it’s almost fall. Whether you love the summer or would rather stay in and marathon Michael Bay movies for the entirety of August, one thing we can all agree on is that it’s never too early for subtle pumpkin spice latte jokes.
