**SPOILER ALERT**Quinn & her doctor dad move from Philly to a small Missouri town. Stereotypical small town with the diner, movie theater, weekend farm parties, catty high school jock, bitch, outsider, etc. Thin plot of a killer clown that's the town mascot that's creepy. The plot was a mess easing between if it was the parents or the kids who where the real troublemakers. Skip ahead to the party int he cornfield where all the kids are getting killed by people dressed in clown suits. Apparently the adults wanted to wipe out the generation of kids because they were "bad" and didn't care about anything but social media, etc. All stemming from the jock's sister's death. Ugh..the stupidity & shock factor killings was cliche like a b-horror movie with no plot. The only thing missing was the damsel in distress in the cornfield with high heels on. The book ended with the possibility of a sequel which I wouldn't waste my time on
