Looks like we're only a couple of months away from prom season. Remember that "rite of passage"? What were your greatest fears? Did they center around getting a date, finding the right apparel, or affording everything? Bet they were nothing like those of Ruby, protagonist of Amy Christine Parker's You're Dead To Me. She's convinced that's the night she'll be brutally murdered.
Ruby is a scholarship student at pricey Oleander Bay Academy. She has a hatred for filthy rich kids, the Bling Brigade, who rule over most of their peers. In fact her obsession is spying on them and revealing their nefarious deeds through her TikTok account, @reputationkiller.
When Ruby makes her biggest reveal--catching golden boy Magnus getting down and dirty with a married socialite--she's caught by two Bling Brigaders who expose her on social media. Now she has to deal with on-line bullying, threats, and potential lawsuits and expulsion so close to graduation.
Simultaneously Ruby is being visited by a 👻 only she can see: a gruesomely mangled corpse looking like her dead self attired in a series of prom gowns.
Not to mention a serial killer is targeting Ruby's neighborhood--a sociopath who slays with a bullet to the heart and another to the head. In fact she sees him take down a victim.
If you enjoy fast paced twisty chillers you'll want to join Ruby in her seven day desperate quest to prevent her own untimely death in a town awash in secrets, scandals, and cover ups.
On a purrrsonal note, this evening was the College of Education and Human Development Graduate Recognition and Award Ceremony. It was pretty cool. Picture tomorrow.
A great big shout out goes out to all the other grad school graduates and our professors.
