Happy Death Day meets The Truman Show in this a darkly funny, blood-soaked thriller where a group of teens must outwit the ultimate killer.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE AUTHOR DECIDES YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER HAS TO DIE?

Siobhan Miller is having a terrible senior year. Her dad is gone, her mom is unravelling, and the only bright spot is her devoted boyfriend, Mateo. Then two classmates are brutally murdered. And a glamorous stranger arrives with an impossible claim: Shiv and her friends are dictional characters trapped inside a horror novel.

One is the hero. One is the villain. And one is going to die horribly.

With the bod count rising, they must outsmart the author before they’re written out for good. Because the only thing more dangerous than a writer . . . is the monster she has written.
