But, when they’re approached by the popular Heather and invited to one of the coolest parties in town to help her find out who’s been trolling her from an account claiming to be her dead dad, their investigations take a turn. Heather’s best friend is found murdered. Suffocated with a mooncup. Uncovering eye watering secrets, Kerry and Annie learn that everyone’s got dirty secrets to hide, no matter their popularity…
