The games children play can come at a cost. But what if the parents refuse to pay the price?



When a young girl falls from a London roof while filming a vampire play, everyone believes it was a tragic accident. But Jenna is not convinced and neither is the father of one of the supporting players. Fourteen-year-old Zoe and her friend Arly refuse to tell the whole truth, prompting Jenna to go undercover to the practices as a “roofing expert” while acting as their chaperone.

From the start, Jenna discovers that the young cast’s acting goes far beyond the play and that her two charges are working from their own script. What price will they pay to become leading ladies? What was the director’s father relationship with the dead girl? And what’s worse, who is sending texts to Arly and Zoe?

Jenna suspects an even darker motive behind the girls’ lies but when a stalker begins ghosting the girls’ footsteps and the texts become threatening, Jenna must quickly regroup before more kids die. By the time she discovers the truth, she almost loses her life in a struggle against a surprising adversary.



DownPlay,
Book 2 in the None of the Above series, is a thrilling mystery on the heels of Downside Up, book 1. If you like character-driven thrills, lavish settings, and twists that will leave you guessing, then you’ll love this addictive new series.
