A sweet senior year goodbye turns sickening as Violet's friends start to fall one by one...

A senior year goodbye morphs into carnival carnage in this sickly-sweet slasher novel

Everyone at Pritchett High wants an invitation to the Senior Scavenge, and this year, Violet Warren and her friends are the lucky ones. Eight girls will break into the Poison Apple Carnival after hours for a scavenger hunt, a school tradition to welcome the best and brightest into their senior year.

But warm welcomes turn into gory goodbyes as those hunting become the hunted. One by one, Violet's friends are viciously murdered by a mysterious masked figure running loose through the carnival grounds.

Can Violet survive this roller coaster ride from hell?

Or will her head end up on a cotton candy pike?
