Cynthia is one of the five students to find Selene's abandoned body. A homicide investigation is quick to break and at the center are her, Theodore, Lana, Percy, and Roman. And when an anonymous tip threatens their darkest secrets, it creates ground for motive. One of them may have killed Selene. Or maybe the real killer is attempting to frame one of them. With an entire police department against them, a dead girl with still living secrets, and a boarding school hiding them, it's up to them to piece together the truth.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
