A fear meme with deadly consequences

Set in a small fishing town during winter, the thriller turns a shared online fear meme into the pattern behind a series of teen deaths. Izzy recognizes the danger when classmates begin dying in ways that match the fears they posted, and the threat grows more personal as she tries to identify the killer. The search brings suspicion to Tristan, a friend of her older sister, and Axel, his cousin and one of Izzy’s classmates. The premise connects digital self-disclosure with questions of trust and danger among people in a close-knit school and town.

Book overview

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER -
A viral fear meme turns deadly in this chilling thriller from #1 bestselling author Natasha Preston, where teens are being murdered one by one in the exact ways they fear most.

It's just a stupid meme that's going around their small fishing town in the dead of winter--people reposting and sharing their biggest fear. But when her classmates start turning up dead--dying in the way that they said scared them the most--Izzy knows it's no joke.

With each death hitting closer to home, Izzy sets out to try to stop the killer. Could her older sister's friend Tristan have something to do with the deaths? He's given her some strange vibes. Or what about his brooding cousin, Axel? But he's in her classes at school. He's not a murderer . . . is he? Izzie's soon on a path that will lead her right to the killer . . . and her own worst nightmare.
