You'll love them to death . . .
Two years have passed since Sunny Lee lost her best friend Mina in a mysterious death. With their other BFF, Candie, the trio had been the hottest up-and-coming teen pop group, until it all suddenly ended. And Sunny can't help but wonder if Candie had something to do with it.
Now, Sunny is still seeking answers. When she discovers that Candie is attending a new K-pop workshop, Sunny follows, hoping to uncover the reason why Mina died... and why she died so violently. Sunny and Candie's reunion is haunted by more than Mina's death as the old spark between them returns, even stronger than before. But there's no time for romance when the lines between nightmare and reality start to blur, leaving their competitors' bodies bizarrely maimed and mutilated. To survive, Sunny must expose the dark secrets surrounding Candie and the workshop's twisted promise for fame.
Stitched with cutting commentary on the ugly side of stardom and impossible beauty standards, Linda Cheng's mind-bending, feminist thriller will have readers screaming and swooning for more.

"After a shocking scandal that abruptly ended her teen pop-star career, eighteen-year-old Sunny Lee spends her days longing for her former life and cyberstalking her ex-BFF and groupmate Candie. The two were once inseparable, but that was then -- before all the tragedy and heartache. In the here and now, Sunny is surprised to discover that Candie is attending a new K-pop workshop in Sunny's hometown. Sunny can't resist the chance to join her and finally confront the demons in their past... because she still can't figure out what happened that horrible night when Mina, the third in their tight-knit trio, jumped to her death. Or if the dark and otherworldly secrets Sunny and Candie were keeping had something to do with it... But the workshop brings neither the happy reunion Sunny had hoped for nor answers to her sinister questions. Instead, Sunny finds herself haunted by ghostly visions while her competitors suffer strange injuries, which become even strangers mutilations that soon turn deadly. In her race to survive, Sunny will have to expose just what's behind the carnage -- and whether Candie is out for blood once again -- in Linda Cheng's spellbinding sapphic thriller that will have readers screaming and swooning for more." -- Jacket flap.
