BEAUTIFUL WICKED THINGS
Book One: The Weight of Water
Welcome to Bramblewood Hall, where the ivy hides the cracks in the stone, and the silence hides the screams.
Five girls rule the halls of England's most exclusive boarding school, bound together by privilege, prestige, and a single, devastating secret.
Sloane, the queen bee with a legacy of darkness.
Kaia, the athlete running from her own reflection.
Bea, the perfectionist holding it together with pearls and panic.
Maeve, the artist painting over the truth.
Elara, the outsider who sees too much.
They are beautiful. They are wealthy. And they are liars.
One year ago, a summer night at the boathouse ended in a tragedy they swore to take to their graves. They thought the mud had washed away the evidence. They thought the water had swallowed their sin.
But someone was watching.
Now, a mysterious figure known only as H has emerged from the shadows. H knows what they did. H knows the twisted history of their families. And with a terrifying arsenal of digital surveillance and psychological warfare, H is determined to make them pay.
From the flickering lights of the Founders' Dinner to the rotting corridors of the abandoned asylum next door, the girls are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse. But at Bramblewood, the danger isn't just outside the gates-it's in their blood.
The truth won't set them free. It will drown them.
If Pretty Little Liars and The Secret History had a baby, and that baby was raised by Riverdale, it would be Beautiful Wicked Things.
