This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

I don't remember much after I blacked out, my head was throbbing. I tried to move my hands to wipe what I think is blood dripping down my forehead, but my hands are tied behind the chair. It was dark, pitch black. "Somebody help!" I shout. I heard movement from the corner of the room. "Shh, don't scream," someone whispers. I shot my head in the direction the voice came from. I can hear footsteps coming towards me. I can't make out who it is in the darkness. All of a sudden, I feel my hands being placed on mine. My heart started beating faster than ever. The grip on my arms tightened, as I let out a little scream. Inches away from my face, I feel their hot breath against my skin "You're finally all mine," the voice says. Alison is a bright highschool senior with a promising future. Her life turns upside down when a serial killer is romantically obsessed with her. Will Alison figure a way to stop the killer, or will she fall into the game?

We think and we expect! We do this both a lot and without these there is not much to do. Will there be any action without expecting a future from it? If so, then that is amazing. However, it is not in most people's worlds. And mainly in four people's world who had this vivid description of expectations for their futures, but ended up with another vivid unexpected futures. Everything was simple from the beginning in their own perspectives, but it was not from the beginning in real sense and it keeps on moving far away from simple with each moment and in the end turns the lives upside down but not the four people's because one of them got what they want but still went with the flow like an innocent. With that confusion, misconceptions arise and secrets will be revealed along with a clearance of misunderstandings and what not. It all seems to be too much of a trap, but what can anyone do when they really got trapped by the destiny or is it something else. All this can either be described as "What is meant to be always finds a way" or as "Karma is really a bitch"... Let's see what can be the perfect description...

Seven cousins, a blackmailer, a grudged teacher, a secret admirer, a desperate student, and a stalker is too much to handle. Not to mention a certain blue eyed boy with a twitchy eye and flattering tongue. That's not all! Why did the most annoying guy at school stop bothering her? Did he really have a change of heart? Or is there an ulterior motive behind it? Or it might be that her revenge schemes finally made him give up. What is her past, no one knows. She stopped asking questions years ago. Will the secret of her parent's death ever unravel? What does the box that was left for her when she was two contain? What will change her life? All it takes is just one twist! ~~~ I saw him leaning against his shiny silver car. When I walked by, he smiled and nodded. I looked behind me, but I saw no one else there. What just happened? I looked at him again and he did something else. He winked. I blushed like a girl and my heart fluttered. 'He's tricking you,' my mind scolded my heart. But I couldn't help thinking, 'maybe going to the party tonight won't be so bad after all.' A teen fiction with loads of humour, a tea spoon of mystery and a sprinkling of romance.
