What happens when a horror movie becomes reality Karen M. McManus meets Get Out in this spine-tingling YA horror thriller that cleverly explores themes of race and class. Devon Harris doesn't have much planned for the summer - until her sister, Drew, invites Devon to a very exclusive private school party. Out of her element, Devon commits to being game at everything. Even when the private school kids ask her if there are fights at her school. Even when they ask her if her box braids are her real hair. Even when those weird ass kids pull out a Ouija board. But this seemingly harmless bit of fun has terrible consequences. Something has been released, and only a week later it's hunting Devon, Drew and their friends. Hunting them in an eerily familiar way . . . The real-life horror movie has begun. The blonde is up first, then the asshole - right up to the Final Girl. Unless the murderous cycle can be broken, they're all going to be next.
