Full of twists, angst, and a bit of romance . . . Fans of the first will clamber for this second, as will those who enjoy dark, character-driven mysteries.

VOYA

Boarding-school fans will appreciate the lush yet foreboding descriptions of a place where attendees are so driven they don't even pause to celebrate achievements and everyone hides something behind perfectly white toothy smiles.

Plot twists and well-crafted intrigue will keep pages turning until the end.

Kirkus Reviews

This fast-paced read is just right for those who enjoy a little science fiction mixed in with their mystery . . . Fans of medical mysteries with bioethical issues, such as Nancy Werlin's Double Helix and Nancy Farmer's The House of the Scorpion, will enjoy this page-turner.

School Library Journal

Stephen King's Firestarter meets Walter Dean Myers' Monster. . . . With its subtle yet timely commentary on police brutality, interracial dating, and LGBT rights, the novel addresses contemporary issues without didacticism. A wildly fulfilling and frightening read.
