About this ebook
Scream meets Happy Death Day in this terrifying young adult horror novel from New York Times bestselling scream queen Danielle Valentine.
"This terrifying book reads like a horror movie. No, wait. It has the suspense and shocks and screams of TEN horror movies in one. Great nasty fun!" —R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street
Alice Lawrence is the sole witness in her sister’s murder trial.
And in the year since Claire’s death, Alice’s life has completely fallen apart. Her parents have gotten divorced, she’s moved into an apartment that smells like bologna, and she is being forced to face her sister’s killer and a courtroom full of people who doubt what she saw in the corn maze a year prior.
Claire was an all-American girl, beautiful and bubbly, and a theater star. Alice was a nerd who dreamed of becoming a forensic pathologist and would rather stay at home to watch her favorite horror movies than party. Despite their differences, they were bonded by sisterhood and were each other’s best friends.
Until Claire was taken away from her.
On the first day of the murder trial, as Alice prepares to give her testimony, she is knocked out by a Sidney Prescott look-alike in the courthouse bathroom. When she wakes up, it is Halloween night a year earlier, the same day Claire was murdered. Alice has until midnight to save her sister and find the real killer before he claims another victim.

Good read and then the ending just ends no explanation no feeling of completeness...very disappointing because it held my attention and then just ended horribly.

I liked most of this book but it earned itself only three stars because of that ending which is very abrupt and shocking and not good. Plus it did not resolve anything! I like my scary, slasher, horror books and movies to have a better ending than that. I mean, what is the point of going back in time to save your sister from being murdered and turning it out like that? I was good with most of the story. It had a good premise with the murder of Claire and I liked it except for the ending.

I know that this one is labeled as young-adult but I was hoping that it was still good enough for adults but I was disappointed. It was too juvenile for me and I wasn't a fan of the ending.
