Synopsis

"Leathers skillfully shrouds the story and the cast in mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews

Sixteen-year-old Charlotte is convinced her life would be perfect if she could only get past the one obstacle holding her back: A girl named Bellany Silverfield, who seems to have it all -- beauty, popularity, power and the boy of Charlotte’s dreams. But when Bellany is murdered, Charlotte’s life doesn't get any better. In fact, it gets much worse. Charlotte worries that circumstantial evidence and rumors of motive will make her a prime suspect. She's forced to question the loyalty of her closest friends and to place her trust in a boy she barely knows. But one of these people is definitely lying to her.

What reviewers are saying:

"With ADHD I usually start a book and never finish it or take months to do so. However, with this book I didn’t want to stop. That ending was great! Just ordered the second book."

"This was a fun, suspenseful mystery. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to start book 2. Highly recommend."

"I kept sneaking in pages because I just had to know!"

"The killer...well you won't see it coming."

"I read this book in about two days and I haven’t been much of a reader for a long time. My attention span is virtually nonexistent so reading stopped being a hobby for me. Decided to try to get back into it with this book and I’m excited to get into book 2 immediately! I most certainly didn’t expect the way things turned out and that’s my favorite kind of ending!"

"This book kept my attention the whole way through. Didn't want to put it down. Definitely didn't guess the murder.. awesome job!!"

"I haven’t finished a book in a long time but I finished this one in 3 days and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series."

"It keeps you on the edge of your seat and questioning everything! I never had a moment where I lost interest in the story!"

"Right from the start it grabbed my attention and I couldn't get enough of it."
