Synopsis

Young, rich and good-looking, Izzy and her friends lead seemingly perfect lives. But exams are looming - and at a school like Clerkenwell, failure is not an option. Luckily, Tigs has a solution. A small pill that will make revision a breeze and help them get the results they need. Desperate to succeed, the friends begin taking the study drug. But as the side effects take hold they realize there are far worse things than failing a few exams.
\"...creepy, claustrophobic and pant-wettingly scary...\" Kim Curran, author of Shift.
Lou Morgan's terrifying novel is part of the Red Eye series, perfect for fans of James Dawson's Say Her Name and Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed in Blood.

Reviews

Izzy and her friends attend a school where second place just is not good enough. With exams coming up the group don't know if they can handle the pressure until one of them finds the solution "FokusPro". The pills turn up from a mysterious website and seem to be everything they promise until the hallucinations begin.....

This was a truly gripping read and I genuinely would reccomend it to anyone. The characters are varied and well written and the sense of fear and dread amongst the group when they realise that the pills may not be everything they hoped is palpable. There are real moments of terror for the reader and a feeling that the story may not be over by the end. I am reading it again and cannot say enough great things about this book.
