Some lessons are to die for.
Xavier Baker thought his biggest challenge at university would be surviving midterms and maintaining a social life. But when a string of brutal, calculated murders begins rocking the campus, the threat hits terrifyingly close to home.
It starts with a pattern. Highly specific, chilling clues are being left behind-not just anywhere, but hidden directly inside their weekly course readings, lectures, and syllabi. When Xavier and his tight-knit circle of friends-the sharp-witted Luna Edwards, the fiercely protective Ellie Jones, and the analytical Hayes Johnson-put the pieces together, they uncover an unimaginable truth:
The killer isn't a faceless monster stalking the campus at night. He's standing right at the front of their lecture hall, grading their papers.
Realizing the police are looking in all the wrong places, Xavier's crew recruits Eddie, Billy, and Steve to help crack the professor's twisted intellectual game. Every red pen mark on an essay, every recommended textbook chapter, and every casual remark in class is a breadcrumb pointing to the next victim.
As the campus goes into lockdown and the body count rises, the group is thrown into a high-stakes, deadly race against time. They have to decode the professor's next move and figure out who he's going after next. But when you're playing a game of wits with a killer who holds your GPA-and your life-in his hands, one wrong answer means getting crossed off the syllabus permanently.
