**After successfully reinventing herself at her new school, a dead body is about to bring all of Kay’s skeletons out of the closet.
“This juicy prep-school thriller has queen bees, super-cliques, and hints of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl.”—Seventeen**
Kay Donovan may have skeletons in her closet, but the past is past, and she’s reinvented herself entirely. Now she’s a star soccer player whose group of gorgeous friends run their private school with effortless popularity and acerbic wit. But when a girl’s body is found in the lake, Kay’s carefully constructed life begins to topple. The dead girl has left Kay a computer-coded scavenger hunt, which, as it unravels, begins to implicate suspect after suspect, until Kay herself is in the crosshairs of a murder investigation.
But if Kay’s finally backed into a corner, she’ll do what it takes to survive. Because at Bates Academy, the truth is something you make . . . not something that happened.
