Augie Doyle and the Strange Case of Creepy Crilly (#2)

Augie is dying to know Izzie Crilly’s secret, and death may be the price he pays for figuring it out.

When a student is killed in a freak accident outside the comic book shop, Augie writes it off as tragedy—until he spots Izzie, Hollowbrook High’s newest outcast, watching the scene with eerie calm. The dead boy was her boyfriend. But instead of grieving, she strolls away and orders a sandwich.

Strange? Definitely. But things get weirder.
Izzie starts dating Mateo. Augie’s baffled. Mateo’s popular, good-looking—everything Izzie isn’t. With her bulging eyes, obsession with the macabre, and habit of making history lessons too gruesome, she’s hardly his type. But days later, Mateo’s dead too. Coincidence? Augie’s not so sure.

Because the more he watches Izzie, the clearer it gets: cross her, and you pay. Doors slam on faces. Noses break. Flesh burns. And when Augie makes the mistake of defending Izzie, she develops a crush. Suddenly, he’s her boyfriend, whether he wants to be or not. He fears there’s only one way out of this relationship—death.
