“Graphic violence and bloody mayhem saturate this high-speed slasher story.” KIRKUS
“The murders are both grisly and psychologically unnerving, and the novel’s intense realism makes them all the more disturbing.” Publishers Weekly
Now a Netflix movie:
Over a year after her parents sent her away from Hawaii to live with her grandmother in landlocked Nebraska, Makani Young is still adjusting to her new life. She’s made a small group of close friends and even flirted with romance, but her past in Hawaii is still hard to forget.
And then . . . one by one the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders. Makani doesn’t know who’s next on the list. Between this, and a secret scorching relationship with the school weirdo, this school year may turn out to be one to die for . . . literally.

Never use the wrong mug in a school staff roomAfter an interesting morning talking to groups of kids in a London school, we went to the staff room for morning break. It was standing room only, and I was halfway through a cuppa when a bossy woman stormed up to me, screaming, “I’m the deputy head and you’re using my mug.”After apologising, and explaining that I was a guest and that the school librarian had made me a cup of tea, the deputy head stood with her hands on her hips, screaming at the librarian about respect for personal property.Once my tea was finished, I hid the deputy head from hell’s mug on top of a high cistern in the male staff toilet.
