Synopsis: A teen girl&’s attempt at social reinvention takes a deadly turn when a co-worker disappears—and she learns she may have been the last person to see the missing girl—in this razor-sharp, murderously funny thriller debut.After the incident last year, Greta Riley Green is looking for reinvention—a fresh start—and a job at Hyper Kid Magic Land, the local amusement park, seems like the perfect way to forge a new path . . . no matter what it takes.So when fate pulls Greta into Mercy Goodwin&’s orbit, it feels like things are looking up. Beautiful and confident, Mercy dazzles audiences daily. And at the first party of the summer, she picks Greta to confide in. Mercy has a secret to share, if Greta will just meet her the next day. It&’s a sign that Greta&’s truly fitting in.Only, when the time comes, Mercy is a no-show—as she is everyday after that—and Greta knows something&’s wrong. She can&’t help thinking back to the night of the party. Did Mercy seem upset? Terrified, even? Could she be in trouble? It wouldn&’t be the first time a talented young performer came to a sinister end at Hyper Kid. . . .Of course, Greta has her own issues with the past, and the more she uncovers Hyper Kid&’s secrets, the more her own threaten to surface. This job was meant to be a reboot, a summer without trouble. But trouble, it seems, finds Greta, and her past—and the bloody past of Hyper Kid—is about to catch up with her.
