Foul Is Fair

YA chiller 

     "Jenny ran back out barefoot in her baby-pink baby-doll dress and flung herself into the back seat across Summer's lap, and Mads was out of the lot and onto the road, singing through six red lights, and everything was still slow and foggy and almost like a dream, but when Jenny threw the box onto my knees I could see it diamond-clear.  Hard black Cleopatra bangs on the front and the label spelled out plain:  #010112 REVENGE.  So I said it out loud:

     REVENGE."

     So fam, we've found another literary expose of the not so niceness of elite private schools.  An illegitimate love child of William Shakespeare's and Stephen King's most Machiavellian works set in a modern prep school would probably look a lot like Foul Is Fair.  This is a book for the most hard-core chiller affecianado.  And it isn't one I'd recommend reading home alone at night.

     It's Elle's sixteenth birthday.  She and her Coven--Jenny, Summer, and Mads--crash a Saint Andrew's Prep party.  The booze flows freely.  A drink spiked with a roofie leaves her prey for gang rape by members of the school's privileged and popular varsity lacrosse team.

     Shall we say they've picked the wrong girl.  She and her Coven decide that the rapists deserve the death penalty.  Elle, now going by her middle name, Jade, gets her influential father to get her transferred to St. Andrew's where, with cosmetic alterations to her appearance, she is able to infiltrate the elite set as New Girl.

     Suddenly the lacrosse team members are dying.

     And one question is on everyone's lips...

     ...Who's next?

On a purrrsonal note, yesterday was the barbecue/backpack give away at the trailer park.  After a rainy day before and a ⛅️ morning the 🌞 came out just in time.  Hot 🌭 s and 🍔 s were grilled on the spot and there were tables loaded with fruit, veggies and dip, sweets...  The baked beans and chili were vegetarian.  For dessert there was 🍉 and 🍪 s.  People were chilling and chatting.  Dogs and even three rabbits on leashes dropped by.  And the kids loved the loaded back packs.  We gave away two dozen.  The stress balls donated by University Credit Union were also popular.  Now that I've stashed leftover school supplies in my shed it's time to start getting ready for next year which will be our fifth.  (Jules)

From what I heard that was quite the party.  (Tobago)

A great big shout out goes out to all who contributed to the backpacks 🎒 and the barbeque.
