The Girl They Blame

Liora Vale, known to most as Lia, is used to being invisible. Between her parents' looming divorce, her family's financial struggles, and constant bullying at school, she's learned to stay quiet and shrink herself-hoping no one will notice.
With her long wavy brunette hair and hazel eyes, she blends into the background, but the whispers and cruel notes always find her.
Then a string of mysterious murders rocks the town, and suddenly all eyes turn to Lia. Alone, misunderstood, and blamed for things she didn't do, she doesn't know who to trust.
That is, until a quiet classmate named Louis starts noticing her-and the famous K-pop group LNGSHOT, who also attend her school, begin protecting her from the shadows.
But the danger doesn't stop there.
As secrets unravel and new faces enter the picture, Lia realizes the real threat isn't just in the rumors-it's watching, waiting, and getting closer.
At Vale Wood High, appearances are everything...
and the quiet ones may be hiding the darkest secrets.
