Jacqueline Charlebois, teenage internet personality and paranormal investigator, has made it her life’s mission to share the truth of the supernatural with the world—whether they want to hear it or not. So, when a local Nile girl falls victim to a demonic attack, Jacqueline takes it upon herself to expose the reality that the authorities refuse to acknowledge. And in the process, she crosses a line, falling forward into viral infamy.
Now all eyes are on her, and Jacqueline’s reputation as a truth-teller and everything she’s worked for is in jeopardy. To clear her name, she and her friends hunt down the mysterious Scarlet Witch, the ghost at the heart of Nile’s most elusive legend.
But things aren’t what they seem. There’s something much more sinister than a ghost lurking in the woods. And what began as a search for proof ends in a hunt for blood, when, one by one, kids start getting hungry…for each other.
Scarlet Hunger is a fast-paced YA paranormal novel with magic, monsters, and mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. A Nancy Drew meets Supernatural thriller with a horrific twist on the tale of Red Riding Hood that will haunt you long after you’ve finished.
