"Essere in un college per ricchi quando si è poveri come la merda è come camminare nel più lussuoso albergo senza un soldo in tasca. Uno schifo. Vivono come se ogni angolo della superficie terrestre li appartenesse e hanno passatempi che nemmeno mia nonna in Thailandia definirebbe tali. Come il golf, chi cazzo gioca a golf? Apro l'armadietto, i loro sguardi di commiserazione mi scivolano sulla schiena. Convinti che una ragazzina come me non possa scalare le classifiche e occupare i loro ruoli. Ma io sono una pazza perfezionista, competitiva fino al midollo, figlia di genitori asiatici che dosano il loro affetto in base ai voti. Prendo i libri di biologia e chiudo l'armadietto. Mi divorerò questo posto e nessuno di loro sa quanto io sia testardamente irremovibile." Nessuno tranne Amir Cameron Rey. Il bambino con cui Asa trascorreva tutte le estati. Quel moccioso balbuziente a cui colava sempre il naso e a cui lei doveva badare perché estremamente timido e introverso. A 6 anni avevano persino fatto il bagno insieme. Erano così legati che si completavano le frasi a vicenda e la gente pensava fossero fratelli o cugini. Ma dopo la morte del padre, è andato a vivere dalla madre all'estero, senza mai più farsi vedere o sentire. E ora, a distanza di anni, eccolo lì: iscritto alla stessa classe di Asa, ma non è il cucciolo insicuro che aveva conosciuto. È alto il doppio di lei, una carnagione dorata che lo rende impossibile da ignorare, un filo d barba sulle guance, folti e lunghe ciglia, occhi del colore della notte e un'attitudine di sfida che cela un oscuro desiderio di vendetta. Il nuovo arrivato è capace fin da subito di agitare e incutere timore in qualsiasi studente miliardario. Ma più di tutto, la sua presenza nel rinomato college Upper High sarà d'intralcio al più ricco degli studenti, Rayan Garret, nonché il suo ex migliore amico. Craving: Emotional hunger Primitive human desire.

Quattro fratelli. Due coppie di gemelli. Quattro ladri pronti a seminare caos. In una tranquilla cittadina al confine tra Illinois e Wisconsin spicca la Hawthorne Academy, una delle scuole più prestigiose dello Stato. Tra le sue antiche mura si annidano storie misteriose, bugie intrecciate, segreti inquietanti e promesse infrante. È il luogo perfetto non solo per rubare, ma anche per sognare. Questo i fratelli Parker lo sanno bene: in quella scuola entra soltanto chi possiede un conto in banca da capogiro, ma è ben noto a tutti che loro non navighino nell'oro. Eppure, qualcuno non solo ha presentato domanda per loro, ma ha anche pagato l'intera retta. Chi li vuole lì? E, soprattutto, perché? Raven Parker presto si ritroverà faccia a faccia con Elias Bailey, il figlio della preside. Quattro anni prima, gli ha rovinato la macchina, la relazione, e persino la reputazione. Ora Elias è deciso a fargliela pagare, ma Raven è astuta e ha la lingua affilata come una lama, pronta a rendere la sua vendetta tutt'altro che facile. Mentre il mondo non guarda, loro iniziano a giocare. Ma qualcuno, nascosto nell'ombra, li osserva con curiosità e si diverte a giocare con loro. Un gioco perverso che presto si trasformerà in qualcosa di mortale. "Memento mori." Una frase in latino. Un biglietto che scivola sotto la porta. 🦊🦊🦊 «Elias, so che ci odiamo, ma ti va di restare con me stasera?» «È contro il regolamento, Raven, lo sai.» «Allora infrangi quella regola, per me.» «Potrei finire nei guai. Mia madre è la preside, te lo ricordi?» «Quindi resti?» «Va bene, ma un giorno dovrai infrangere anche tu una regola per me.» «Quale?» «La regola numero sei.»
