Strange Days — Rebecca Royce

Dodie Chase has a terrible crush on her neighbour, Christian Casillo. But a man like him -- karate blackbelt, exotic dancer and romance novel cover stud -- could never be interested in a mouse like her.

And thoughts of romance fly out of her head when her best friend's boyfriend is brutally murdered, leaving Mindy white-haired and in shock. An evil clown, a creature from Dodie's worst nightmares, is pursuing everyone she loves -- and she starts to realize that Christian is among them.
