Senior Year.
It always felt like a distant dream - but now it's here.
Galaxy, Elena, Alyssa, Lynn, Dominic, and Corlix have waited their whole lives for this. One final year before they graduate. One last stretch before they finally escape the suffocating small town of Mount Haven. College. Freedom. A real future.
But just months into the school year, a mysterious new student arrives . . . and people start disappearing.
One by one, students and locals disappear - without warning, without trace. Panic ripples through the community. Whispers swirl through the halls. And the six friends realize that Mount Haven may not be as safe or sleepy as they always believed.
Someone is behind this.
The question is: Who's next?
Before the time runs out, they'll have to unravel the truth - even if it means questioning everything they thought they knew.
Because in Mount Haven, secrets don't remain secrets for very long.

The End of Summer
Summer Jacobs knew full well about her town’s tradition. Every year at the end of the summer, a party would be held on school grounds without the knowledge of the parents or the teachers. It had been happening since before Summer was born and never once was anyone the wiser. This year however, everyone was going to find out. Summer had planned a weekend of alcohol, bad decisions and horrendous photo’s which she would later un-tag herself from on Facebook. A whole weekend with her friends at the biggest party of the year, without any worries or parents telling her what to do. So how she ended up trapped in the school with a deranged psycho killing her classmates off one by one, she will never know. It wouldn’t have been as bad if she was trapped on her own. She would have been happier to face the lunatic solo rather than be trapped with a guy who kept using the life or death situation to make passes at her. His theory was being so close to death should definitely loosen her up, and by ‘loosen up’ he definitely meant ‘get naked.’ Along with his friends who between them had the IQ of a baby tree stump, an outcast who probably still had Spiderman bed sheets and the cheerleaders who were more worried about all the blood staining their new white jeans, they had to somehow make it out of there alive. And to think, Summer’s biggest worry that weekend was waking up with a brutal hangover… ©makeandofferComplete
