the 16-year-old sociopathic girl
Erika Fairchild is the picture of perfection - beautiful, brilliant, and born into a wealthy, powerful family. But beneath her flawless facade lies a dark secret: Erika is a sociopath, capable of manipulation, cruelty, and even murder.
When Erika's sociopathic tendencies lead her to kill a classmate, her family is forced to flee their privileged life and send Erika to the elite Blackwood Academy - a prestigious boarding school known for its academic excellence, but also its unspoken dark secrets.
At Blackwood, Erika quickly adapts to the strict rules and high expectations, easily fooling her teachers and peers with her charming, innocent persona. But as she settles into her new surroundings, Erika can't ignore the unsettling rumors and strange occurrences that plague the school.
Determined to uncover Blackwood's darkest mysteries, Erika begins to infiltrate the lives of her classmates and the administration. Yet the more she digs, the more she realizes that she may have met her match - for the school's secrets are even more sinister than she imagined, and some students are just as capable of darkness as she is.
Erika must decide whether to use her sociopathic skills to destroy Blackwood's inner circle, or if there is something worth saving beneath the school's polished veneer. But as she closes in on the truth, Erika finds that her own sanity and safety may be at risk. In the end, she must question whether she is the ultimate hunter...or the hunted.

WHEN ROSES BLEED
"La Vien Rose Academy thrives on secrets, power, and betrayal." La Vien Rose is not just an academy-it is a sanctuary for the powerful, the privileged, and the untouchable. Or so it pretends. When Sienna Vanderlyn returns to the prestigious halls of La Vien Rose, she is no longer the girl who once trusted too easily. Once welcomed, betrayed, and murdered by those she called friends, Sienna has been given a second chance at life-and she intends to use it wisely. This time, she remembers everything. Behind glittering smiles and aristocratic titles lurks the Diamonds, an elite circle whose friendships are weapons and whose secrets are deadly. As Sienna reintegrates herself into their world, she must play the role of the same naïve girl they once destroyed-while quietly dismantling them from within. But revenge is not the only danger. A student is murdered. Whispers spread. Old secrets begin to surface. And Ryu Haejun, heir to a silent conglomerate that archives forbidden truths, watches Sienna with knowing eyes-aware that rebirth never occurs without consequence. As bodies fall and loyalties fracture, Sienna must decide how far she is willing to go. Because at La Vien Rose, survival demands cruelty... And the truth is far more dangerous than death.![DELUSIONS (Sample) [PUBLISHED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/79173952-256-k144674.jpg)
