<b>Three wishes. One prom queen celebrating at the Jersey Shore. And one monster who will keep killing until her wishes are paid for.<br> <br> From the virally popular author of <i>Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch</i>, a queer feminist YA horror/slasher novel perfect for fans of <i>You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight</i>.</b><br> <br> Seven years ago, Sundae Valentine made a deal with a monster she met at the bottom of a motel pool. She didn't know the wishes he offered had a price--or that the third wish, the one she still hasn't made, will cost her life.<br> <br> Back then, she barely escaped Wildwood alive. Now, the cheerleaders and football players are headed to the Jersey Shore for prom weekend--leaving Sundae no choice but to return to the scene of her sun-bleached nightmares. <br> <br> Sundae tries to forget, throwing herself into the rides on the pier, the tequila-fueled dance parties, and the guitar-strumming girl she can't quite look away from. She hopes the beast has forgotten, too.<br> <br> But there are eyes like silver coins watching from the shadows, and teeth like a rusty saw glinting in the light of the boardwalk. Because Sundae still owes a debt. And whatever it takes, whoever he has to kill, this time the monster's determined to collect.
