Cutting Up the Competition — Carissa Ann Lynch

Day one of sophomore year, and Horror High is already living up to its name… Amanda Loxx isn't your stereotypical cheerleader. Her life has never been perfect. Her father is dead, and her mother is a drug addict. Now she is forced to live with her kooky grandma Mimi, who happens to be a former Las Vegas showgirl. Sophomore year is supposed to bring normal back to her life. We've got murder, yes we do! We've got murder, how about you? A string of pranks including a haunting chant sets everyone on alert.

Amanda and her friends think it's just a prank…a copycat looking for attention or a freshman hoping to scare off the competition. When a cheerleader is found dead and another one attacked, everyone is certain history is set to repeat itself… If Amanda and her friends hope to survive another year at the infamous Horror High, they've got to figure out who is behind these new attacks. Is it the freakishly talented new freshman hoping to carve her way to a varsity spot, or the person sending Amanda threatening letters? Whoever it is, she's… Cutting Up the Competition
