The Shadow Club doesn't exist anymore. The group of second-best kids used to play anonymous practical jokes on their rivals, until things spiraled out of control. Now Jared and the ex-Shadow Club members are having a hard time shaking their reputation. And when the new golden boy at school is the victim of a series of nasty pranks, everyone's convinced Jared is to blame. Determined to prove his innocence, Jared soon becomes wrapped up in a nightmare worse than anything the Shadow Club ever caused.
Jared Mercer returns in this sequel to THE SHADOW CLUB, determined to shirk the suspicions people still have about him. As the former leader of the Shadow Club--a group that terrorized honors students--the last thing he needs is a return of the smart-kid hazing, but sure enough, when whiz-banger Alec Smartz enrolls, somebody resurrects the club--but it's not Jared. How will he prove his innocence--and protect his new friend, Alec--since no one believes a word he says?
