You're invited. You're next.
The first mask arrived on a Tuesday.
Iris thought it was a prank. A Halloween decoration left on the porch of the lake house she and her husband had just bought in Lakewood, New York. A small town in the Adirondacks where nothing ever happens.
She almost threw it away.
Three days later, a woman was found dead at a dinner party. A wooden mask rested on her face. The same kind of mask. The same blank, hand-carved stare.
Then another body. Another mask. Another name crossed off a list Iris found hidden in a hollowed-out book.
Twenty names. Ten crossed out. Ten remaining.
Iris's name is on it.
So is her husband's.
A couple looking for a fresh start. A town with a deadly secret. A killer with a signature.
Iris and Noah came to Lakewood to rebuild their broken marriage. Instead, they walked into a nightmare.
Because the masks aren't random. The list isn't a prank. And the killer isn't finished.
Someone in this town remembers what happened here years ago. Someone remembers the girl who disappeared. Someone is making sure everyone who was there that night pays the price.
One by one. Mask by mask.
And the deeper Iris digs, the closer she gets to a truth that will change everything?about the lake house, about her husband, and about herself.
The countdown has begun. And Iris is running out of time.
For fans of Scream, The Last House on Needless Street, and The Final Girl Support Group?a tense, twist-filled slasher that will keep you reading until the last mask is revealed.
The list is waiting.
And your name might be on it.
