4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. Everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which she makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself. But it doesn't seem like a harmless game a week later when Olivia dies unexpectedly in a violent car crash, exactly as Violet predicted. And something begins haunting McKenna's bedroom at night, leaving her clues that all seem to point to Violet. McKenna enlists the help of her cute next-door neighbor Trey in finding out exactly what kind of curse Violet has put on all of the popular girls in the junior class. As Violet seemingly steps into the life Olivia left unfinished, McKenna and Trey have a limited amount of time to bring an end to Violet's game before more lives are lost.

It’s been a while since I seen the tv show, I was disappointed when it was cancelled. But even more excited when I found out there was a book. McKenna Brady had a transformative summer and starting her junior year as a pretty, popular girl and even running for class treasurer. Violet is a new recruit to McKenna’s friend group. McKenna, Olivia, Candace and Misha are about to discover there’s something very off after a night of playing Light as a Feather.. predictions come true. Can Olivia, McKenna, Candace and Misha figure out what’s going on before it’s to late.. for any of them. First off, I loved the book, but I watched the tv series before I even knew there were books like this.. I can say the tv series has slight similarities. But all characters are very like able. I didn’t like the cliffhanger though.. I wanted more.. which is silly because I know there are several book in the series. But yeah, I can’t wait to see what happens next. 4.5⭐️s ( Show was cancelled )
