Description
Summary:Sixteen-year-old Greta attempts to reinvent herself at her amusement park summer job, but things take a deadly turn when a co-worker disappears.
After the incident last year, Greta Riley Green is looking for reinvention, a fresh start, a chance to run away from the many secrets she's suddenly hiding. A job at Hyper Kid Magic Land, the local amusement park, seems like the perfect way to forge a new path . . . no matter what it takes. When fate pulls Greta into the orbit of Mercy Goodwin, star of the park's most popular show, it feels like things are looking up. Beautiful and confident, Mercy dazzles audiences daily. And at the first party of the summer, she picks Greta to confide in. Mercy has a secret to share, if Greta will just meet her at lunch the next day. It's a sign that Greta's truly fitting in. Only, when the time comes, Mercy is a no-show -- as she is every day after that. She just stops coming to work. Greta knows something is wrong. She can't help thinking back to the night of the party. Did Mercy seem upset? Terrified, even? Could she be in trouble? It wouldn't be the first time a talented young performer came to a sinister end at Hyper Kid. . . . Of course, Greta has her own issues with the past, and the more she uncovers Hyper Kid's secrets, the more her own threaten to resurface. This job was meant to be a reboot, a summer without trouble. But trouble, it seems, finds Greta, and her past -- and the bloody past of Hyper Kid -- is about to catch up with her.
