WE WERE LIARS meets THE RAVEN
BOYS
in this steamy, mind-bending tale of revenge, sinister
privilege and forbidden desires set at an elite boarding school.



Seventeen-year-old Marin James has spent her entire
life living in the shadow of the exclusive Huntsworth Academy.
So when her cousin’s dead body is found in a creek on school
property, Marin knows exactly who’s to blame: Adrian
Graves and Henry Wu, the enigmatic, yet
dangerous leaders
of the school's ecosystem.


Swapping her ragged T-shirts
for a crisp prep school uniform, Marin infiltrates Huntsworth to
exact her revenge. But her quest for vengeance is quickly muddied
by a confusing attraction to her new life, and to the two dysfunctional
and devastating boys who understand her better than
anyone
ever has.


When Marin uncovers a dark, eerie
secret
hiding behind Huntsworth's ivied gates, the
lines between justice and vengeance, love and hate, and the real
and supernatural begin to crumble –
and nothing is
as it seems.


Welcome to Huntsworth Academy.
