It was supposed to be a mid-year getaway for influential teenagers or children of rich parents from all parts of Nigeria. It was that annual summer camp which everyone above the age of sixteen looked forward to attending every year since its incorporation. It was Hillsview Summer Camp. ♡︎♡︎♡︎ The fourth annual Hillsview summer camp brings about things unexpected in all eight of the teenagers' lives. From the arrival of an intercontinental teenage star, to a near suicide, an addiction, and possibly an obsession, their stay is nothing like they imagined. Soon enough, they realize the meaning behind the popular saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover". Safe to say, none of them can predict the outcome of sitting together on that table the first night of camp. Surely, it is a night to remember. "Even the seemingly perfect people have that one thing which traps them" "Who would've known that all it took was fourteen days?" Do not plagiarise. I do not own the images used in this book.

"They say life experiences can either make or mar a person. Well for me, it was both. Being broken and repaired, experiencing different emotions, as though I'm an emotional arcade. Life went through me, leaving scars and stars." She chuckled lightly, reminiscing her beloved. "And if you were asked to describe your life in a sentence..." She adjusted slightly on her seat. Fondling with the straps of her black spaghetti top and feigning confidence in her posture, she gave her answer. "I'd describe my life as a bed of roses, only, with so many thorns."

Honours Preparatory Academy. A school well-known for it's somewhat magical scenery. The charms of it's board of directors. The amazing teachers who could do their jobs with their eyes closed. The clean-cut uniforms and the posh, well-mannered students. Every child wanted to be an honour student and any parent would literally give up anything to make sure that their children attended Honours Prep. But did they know that there were ghosts lurking around the halls, trapped behind the walls? Did they know that the students killed with just snaps of their fingers? That the teachers would do anything to keep their jobs? And that parents pushed their children farther than they could reach? Did they know of the past students that had disappeared or died by "accident"? Did they? No they did not. *** When The Queen of Honours Prep, Jumoke Adegoke, is murdered, the students are all of the same notion; that Faith Okafor killed her best friend.

When a new mystery comes into light, in the form of S.B, the anonymous cyber bully, she teams up with her archenemy, Hakeem. Together, they get steps closer to finding the killer and the secrets of other students at Honours Prep.
