The Jack of Clubs. The Ace of Spade. The King of Hearts. The Queen of Diamonds. These are the royals. They never show their faces, never reveal themselves, and yet the entire school bows to their whim. Teachers are their pawns. Students are their slaves. They haven't arisen in five years. Now they're back. 

•○•○•○•

Why?

Something is wrong; a murderous plot that is slowly kidnapping students without a trace, and a convicted criminal hiding their identity has infiltrated their school.

Annalise Rory Adler is a nobody. She fades into the background, notices things invisible to anyone else. She's a manipulator, an actor, a liar. She weaves stories, spins lies, and dissects secrets. And this one has her blood humming. Annalise has made it her mission to take the council down. And yet... why is she being recruited by them? 

And why on earth, is she being tasked to unravel this mystery?

Could you fall in love with someone you never met, saw or spoke to? Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to complete her degree swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored.... But definitely in denial. Hooked by the writer's endearing charm, sharp wit & beautiful penmanship, she begins an anonymous correspondence and with every confession, every single quip and joke, he wins her heart little by little while she loses herself in those letters. Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer. She defenestrates her logical plans & tortures herself by indulging in a nail-biting & probably a tad bit unhealthy mystery as she sets out on an expedition that would only come to an end when she finds the enigmatic scribbler. And that just might be the most terrifying project she has ever taken on. (FULL SYNOPSIS INSIDE) *************** Highest Ranks: #Prose, #Humor, #Letters,#Anonymous, #Poetic I will be honest, this book is a masterpiece. -Reader The best book of the year! -Reader Cutest book ever!

Emmalyn Cole also known as the school's sweetheart was the exact opposite. She was bright, loud and the absolute center of Rosewood High. Being the daughter of a self-made businesswoman and a famous pianist, she knew she was destined for greatness, but in sophomore year when she was publicly dumped by her boyfriend for her sister, she felt her friends and life slipping away.
