Summary

When nightmares come to life.

Scout wants to perform an experiment; create a scarecrow to see if Briella can control it once it’s animated with her magic.

Briella is resistant to this idea because she is terrified of scarecrows. When her fear manifests itself through her drawings, her friends decide to take action.

They coerce Briella into creating a scarecrow and she soon discovers there is more to herself than meets the eye.

This book is 20,000 words and is book 3 of 6 in the Halloween Madness Series.
