Being cool won’t kill her, will it?

When Kerry starts tenth grade at a new school she’s a loner at best, until the three coolest girls in school sweep her away in their glamorous and gossipy group.

When her three new friends are killed in a horrifying car crash, her life seems over as well. But then the texts begin. . . .
