Why is the first thing everyone does in a horror movie is split up to look for clues? Does nobody understand that every time this happens someone (normally the blonde) dies?
Well, guess what? I am the blonde, and I'm too young to die! So this time, we're playing by my rule book. If you want to go off and die from your own stupidity, go ahead, but procrastinate just long enough for me to get the hell out of there first.
Yes, it's Halloween night. Yes, we're stuck in a creepy old house. Yes, I'm surrounded by stereotypes and cliches, but this time, the ending will be different. This time, the blonde is not going to die.
***
Damn, I wanted to spend Halloween at home, binge eating candy and playing video games. But then, my idiot neighbor claimed he knew the hottest party in town, filled with chicks and booze.
A haunted house. There are a few chicks but absolutely no booze. The fucking idiot. Now I'm stuck in here with a bunch of stereotypes, wondering who's going to die first. Because it's usually between the black guy and the blonde with big boobs. I'm the black guy. I hope blondie snuffs it first.
WARNING! This book is filled with offensive stereotypes, sarcasm and crude language. Proceed at your own risk.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
