Siobhan Miller is having a terrible senior year. Her dad is gone. Her mom is unravelling. And her phone will not. Stop. Buzzing. The only bright spot left is her fiercely devoted boyfriend, Mateo. Then two classmates are found brutally murdered. And somehow, things only get worse. An impossibly glamorous stranger appears with an even more impossible claim: Shiv and her friends are fictional characters trapped inside a horror novel. According to the author, one of them is the hero. One of them is the villain. And one of them is going to die horribly. With the body count rising, Shiv and her friends will fight to outsmart the author before they're written out of the story for good. Because the only thing more dangerous than a writer . . . is the monster she's written.
