Tastes Like Candy 2: Viciously Sweet

By Jessica Lacy

Five years ago, the Poison Apple Carnival became a secret soaked in blood.

Everything about Pritchett High's grisly Senior Scavenge massacre was erased. The internet was wiped clean. And the truth was buried beneath the reframe of a tragic car crash. But Dusty Nash is about to dig it all up. Driven by humiliation and resentment, and mentored by someone, or something claiming to be Blythe Lennon, Dusty revives the horrors of the Senior Scavenge.

Far away from Belldam, Texas, Violet Warren lives with the truth, its nightmares and ghosts.

When a new group of girls begins receiving candy-colored invitations to a resurrected Senior Scavenge, the language is disturbingly familiar with chilling rhymes and twisted rules. What's new is the blackmail. Someone has been stalking them.

Violet's only chance to stop another slaughter depends on her returning to her hometown to confront the violence she escaped... and the one who's copying it. Because Blythe Lennon may be dead--but her influence is not.

Whatever you do - Don't. Go. Online.

Nightmare on Elm Street meets M3gan in this razor-sharp sequel that proves surviving the slasher doesn't mean the nightmare is over.
