📝 Description: His Scream Queen

Brooklyn Ann writes a supernatural thriller centered on Lucio Argento, who seeks revenge after being dumped by Amteep High's most popular girl. He manipulates Jamie Blair, a student targeted by that same bully, into running for Prom Queen to secure votes. This plan backfires when Lucio falls for Jamie and they become accomplices in investigating strange animal deaths in their community. As the narrative progresses, classmates begin dying in horrific ways, revealing dark supernatural forces at work. The story builds toward a climax where Lucio and Jamie must find a way to stop these forces before everyone dies at Prom. Ann’s background is not detailed in the provided material, but her work targets readers who enjoy young adult horror with romantic elements. The book suits those interested in high school settings mixed with supernatural mystery. It may not appeal to readers seeking historical fiction or non-supernatural genres. The plot relies on themes of revenge, romance, and survival against unseen threats. The structure follows a linear timeline leading up to the Prom event, focusing on the relationship between Lucio and Jamie as they uncover the truth behind the deaths.
