<strong>The Pogues hit the beach in another action-packed original YA novel based on the hit Netflix show, <em>Outer Banks</em></strong> <br/><br/>It's summer and there's a big surfing competition coming to the OBX. Kiara plans to participate alongside Kooks like Rafe and Touron (tourist + moron), athletes who are flooding into the island's hotels from all over the world. Meanwhile, a storm has brought massive waves to the waters off the island, making for perfect-yet challenging-surfing conditions. <br/><br/>When Kiara strikes up a flirtation with one of the surfers, Pope, John B, and JJ can't help but get jealous. Not only was Kiara at another school last year (a Kook school, to be specific), now she's spending her summer vacation with these out-of-towners, too?! Meanwhile, the surfers are treating Pope's dad like some kind of hero, and Heyward won't explain why. When one of the professional surfers washes up dead, everyone assumes he got crushed by a wave. But Pope and Kiara aren't so sure... <br/><br/>Told from the alternating perspectives of Pope and Kiara, this follow-up to <em>Outer Banks: Lights</em> Out features a pulse-pounding mystery that will keep readers glued to the page.
