By: Danielle Valentine

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.

Red Harrings GALORE

Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was listening. The last half of the book, I couldn’t stop listening. I went on an extra walk a day to finish it! I was NOT expecting that ending!!!!

Wow. Just wow.

Just get it. If you like the YA mystery/slasher genre at all, get it. It's fantastic

Good story

I had a hunch what was going on early in the book but I still enjoyed it and was along for the ride.

Didn’t see that twist coming

I thought I knew who the murder was the entire time, then something else would happen and I would change who I thought it was, but I for sure did not see the ending coming!

So many twists!!

Thriller/Mystery is not my usual genre so I’ve been slowly dipping in but it’s books like these that make me want to jump straight in!! Again as someone who’s not so into this stuff there were so many twists and turns so unexpected!! And the way it ends, wow, wild.
