Description
Charlotte doesn't fit in with her two best friends, or with anyone else at The Underhill Preparatory Institute, her cut-throat school for the rich and gifted. But when those best friends die suddenly, Charlotte doesn't know where to turn.
Were they keeping secrets? Could Charlotte be the reason they did it? Because Charlotte has a secret of her own, and now she must decide how much she will risk to discover the truth.
In venomous, page-turning style, Danielle Rollins keeps readers on the edge of their seats with this haunting thriller full of pretty people and ugly secrets. This will thrill fans of E. Lockhart and Stephen King.

Boarding-school fans will appreciate the lush yet foreboding descriptions of a place where attendees are so driven they don't even pause to celebrate achievements and everyone hides something behind perfectly white toothy smiles.

Kirkus Reviews
-
This fast-paced read is just right for those who enjoy a little science fiction mixed in with their mystery . . . Fans of medical mysteries with bioethical issues, such as Nancy Werlin's Double Helix and Nancy Farmer's The House of the Scorpion, will enjoy this page-turner.
School Library Journal
-
Stephen King's Firestarter meets Walter Dean Myers' Monster. . . . With its subtle yet timely commentary on police brutality, interracial dating, and LGBT rights, the novel addresses contemporary issues without didacticism. A wildly fulfilling and frightening read.
