Description

Chilling, mind-bending supernatural scares from cult horror sensation, Courtney Gould, in her UK debut. Perfect for YA fans of I Saw the TV Glow and Backrooms, with the dark, multi-generational mystery of Yellowjackets.

Flickering neon lights and hot Miami nights turn deadly . . .

Twenty-five years ago, the Ripley Memorial High School senior class entered the luxurious Kaleidoscope Key resort. Most of them never left. The five survivors of the massacre have never revealed what happened.

Paige, daughter of one of the survivors, has grown up determined to steer her life away from the unsolved mystery her ex-best friend, KJ, can’t leave alone. But when she’s called home on the anniversary of the massacre, she finds KJ missing. There’s only one place she could be: the now-abandoned resort.

When Paige and the remaining survivors’ kids follow KJ there, they’re forced to confront a horrifying truth: Kaleidoscope Key has been waiting . . .
