Take It To Death

"I promised myself that I wouldn't get near anyone, that I wouldn't want them. But the minute you came along, it became easier and easier to convince myself that it's okay to lie."

The only way Maya could ensure the safety of her little brother, Connor, is to get the both of them enrolled in Lor'Ale Academy, a boarding school whose walls she was sure were going to protect them from Clarissa and her drug-driven husband. But when certain people become interested in the new girl, Maya has to fight, scratch, and round-house-kick her way through the new world she and Connor are thrown in.

Strangers get close.

Enemies get closer.

And love, of course, finds a way to make everything more complicated.
