The Thrashers: The unputdownable, unforgettable thriller perfect for fans of A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER and THIRTEEN REASONS WHY.

The unputdownable, unforgettable thriller from bestselling author Julie Soto, perfect for fans of A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER and THIRTEEN REASONS WHY.

Jodi never asked to be a Thrasher - a member of the high school elite. But Jodi has been best friends with Zack Thrasher her whole life, and like it or not, that means she's branded a Thrasher by the rest of the school. And different as she feels to the other four Thrashers - all talented, privileged and beautiful - she can't help appreciating her social status, especially compared to her violent home life.

But being a Thrasher isn't worth dying for - except, apparently, it was to Emily Mills. Sweet but intense Emily, whose fixation on Zack brought her close to the in-crowd, but never close enough. Emily, who took her own life on prom night.

When a detective finds a copy of Emily's diary, there are whispers that she was 'Thrashed' - bullied to death by Zack and his gang. They are arrested, charged, and ostracised, their once bright futures extinguished. Then begin the texts from unfamiliar numbers, inexplicable light flares, the run of bad luck that becomes a string of near-fatal accidents... and the constant dreams of Emily.

But something isn't adding up. The diary is too convenient. In fact, it's filled with Jodi's own secrets, repurposed by Emily. But why?

One thing is clear. Emily isn't done with the Thrashers.
