"The dead don't lie, but the Living often do, Little Thief."
Ridgewood Academy was supposed to be a fresh start for Ivy-a chance to blend into the crowd and leave her past behind. But her quiet plan is shattered when she meets Stella, the girl no one likes and everyone avoids. Against her better judgment, Ivy tries to befriend her.
A week later, Stella is dead.
The school moves on, brushing her death aside as just another tragedy. But when Ivy finds Stella's diary stuffed under a desk-filled with desperate, haunting words like "It wasn't my fault. Help me!"-she knows something isn't right.
With the reluctant help of Aiden, Stella's best friend and the only person who cared about her, Ivy digs deeper. What they uncover points to someone no one would ever suspect: a teacher who seems perfect but hides a twisted, dangerous game behind his kind smile.
As Ivy and Aiden inch closer to the truth, anonymous notes start appearing-guiding them, warning them, and sometimes pushing them too far. Each clue brings them closer to uncovering a secret that's darker than anything Ivy imagined.
Stella's story might not have ended the way everyone thinks it did. But Ivy's might-if she isn't careful.
In a school full of lies, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all.
