Title: Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board

Author: zaarsenist

Summary: McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she’s welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blond, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she’s overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia’s handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna’s parents divorced, things are looking up.

But everything changes the night of Olivia’s Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she’s already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn’t want to ruin her friends’ fun. It’s only a game, she reminds herself.

But it doesn’t seem like a harmless game a week later when Olivia dies unexpectedly in a violent car crash, exactly as Violet predicted. And something begins haunting McKenna’s bedroom at night, leaving her clues that all seem to point to Violet. McKenna enlists the help of her cute next-door neighbor Trey in finding out exactly what kind of curse Violet has put on all of the popular girls in the junior class. As Violet rises to popularity and seemingly steps into the life Olivia left unfinished, McKenna and Trey know they only have a limited amount of time to bring an end to Violet’s game before more lives are lost.

Status: Completed, with a sequel that is also completed called 'Light as Feather, Cold as a Marble' and a third book that is in progress called 'Light as a Feather, Silent as a Grave'

Review: This story just... I loved it so much. Hands down one of my favourites on Wattpad. I am the type of person who hates horror stories because they terrify me, but this story was just scary enough to make me feel brave and keep me on the edge of my seat but not to the point where I couldn't sleep for weeks. I never got bored of this story, and waited anxiously for every update. The plot is unlike anything else I have ever read, the characters are hilarious, and I love how everything slowly falls into place. Definitely a must-read!

Rating: 10/10

What I would change: Spoiler alert: that Olivia wasn't dead. Haha, just kidding, although she is my favourite character :)

Best thing about your story: how I never got bored, and there was always some form of action happening. That's very difficult to do!
