Smashed Pumpkins - Paperback

By sundown, the crew will learn the hard way: in this patch, the pumpkins do the picking.

Valerie is done living the life her mom mapped out. Shaun's football dreams ended with one bad tackle, and now he's spiraling without a future. Both need a fresh start, and a day of farmhand work at Farmer Fred's "Fantastic" Farm, home of Blandville's Pumpkin Spice Festival, seems harmless enough.

Neither expects to come face-to-face with an old crush while they're knee-deep in pumpkins and petty chores-let alone feel those sparks reignite. But just as Val and Shaun begin to find comfort, and maybe something more, in each other, Fred's chemically enhanced fertilizer unleashes a nightmare. The pumpkins carve, the vines want blood, and the volunteers are first on the menu.

Now Val and Shaun must fight their way through one blood-soaked farm if they want to survive the night. Because in Blandville, KY...love might be the only thing strong enough to survive the smash.
