It's been one year since Rayne Foster killed a young girl in the middle of the street, and after months of endless therapy, she still doesn't remember it happening. The psychiatrists at Aurora Hospital finally approve her transfer to Maria J. Westwood Correctional, a glorified reform school for the wealthiest teens in America; the steep tuition pays for a fresh start, wherein students can graduate and receive forged diplomas from blue-ribbon schools across the nation. Clean slate.
But there are dark secrets on campus. A hidden history of blood, death, and darkness.
Spirits haunt the campus grounds in the form of whispers, shadows, and vague apparitions. Rayne is one of the only students who can see them, and given her history of hallucinations, she begins to wonder if they are even real. That is until one night, she discovers a young boy on campus who can see them too.
Could it be she's really not alone?
Together, they may be the only ones who can put an end to the murders that terrorize the prim hallways of Maria J. Westwood. Rayne is determined to unlock the school's secrets in order to save her peers, whilst uncovering the secrets of her own past as well...

Pretty Monsters (Murders At Raven Oak Prep)
THE DEAD DO NOT SPEAK. For years I coexisted with the living, but my life has forever known the waking shadows of death. As a clairvoyant, I wield a rare gift to communicate with spirits abandoned to wander in search of liberation from the lives they once belonged to. A gift I must use to find answers after being condemned for my mother's mysterious murder with the assistance of a lost soul, having latched herself to mine. When my estranged father demands me to enroll in the prestigious academy he once attended, Raven Oak Prep, we learn there are secrets hidden within its beautiful walls and paved with bad intentions. Secrets someone wants me to find. Seeking the truth proves difficult when the Student Council marks me as the enemy. Four beautifully, shattered boys hiding behind their masks to play out my brother's revenge in retribution for my mother's untimely demise. When their wicked games, and my morbid investigation becomes entwined, a shared connection is discovered that may just wake the ghosts of both our pasts. DEATH FOLLOWS US. After the falsified suicide of our girlfriend, we made a vow in the name of our brotherhood to uncover the truth. In the years since, we established no leads. Time turned us into monsters. We lost hope and said Fuck You to redemption. Until Beau's sister entered the doors of our academy with secrets that rivaled our own, unbeknownst she brought a depraved serial killer to our doorsteps set on murdering our students in a twisted game. His name? He calls himself Monster. Riddle after riddle the hunt against time to unmask Monster and understand his motives, grows, as he leaves a pile of bodies whispering old tales and written in ciphers. Who will be the next one? It seems history does repeat itself. We're all pretty monsters with secrets to kill for. No one and nowhere is safe. But what if the villain of this story was never the villain at all?
