Story
Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and, strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey's new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls - she's even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them.

Everyone knows the Ivies: the most coveted universities in the United States. Far more important are the Ivies. The Ivies at Claflin Academy, that is. Five girls with the same mission: to get into the Ivy League by any means necessary. I would know. I'm one of them. We disrupt class ranks, club leaderships, and academic competitions...among other things. We improve our own odds by decreasing the fortunes of others. Because hyper-elite competitive college admissions is serious business. And in some cases, it's deadly.

Publisher's summary
"Sharp, brilliantly plotted, and totally engrossing." (Karen M. Mcmanus, New York Times best-selling author of One of Us Is Lying)
"A crafty, dark, and disturbing story." (Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times best-selling author of Girl in Pieces)
"A little bit Riverdale and a little bit Veronica Mars." (Riley Sager, best-selling author of Final Girls)
A Goodreads Best Young Adult Book of the Year Nominee
From the author of The Darkest Corners and Little Monsters comes an all-new edge-of-your-seat thriller set in upstate New York about an eerie sequence of seemingly unrelated events that leaves five cheerleaders dead.
There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook.
First there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know his reasons. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost.
That was five years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy. She just wants to forget.
Only, Monica's world is starting to unravel. There are the letters in her stepdad's desk, an unearthed, years-old cell phone, a strange new friend at school.... Whatever happened five years ago isn't over. Some people in town know more than they're saying. And somehow, Monica is at the center of it all.
There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean anyone else is safe.
More Praise for Kara Thomas:
"Gripping from start to finish...with twists that left me shocked." (Victoria Aveyard, number one New York Times best-selling author of Red Queen)
"You'll be up all night tearing through the pages." (Bustle)
"This deliciously deceptive thriller...is a must-have." (SLJ)
Critic reviews
"A disturbing portrait of how bad news and gossip can curdle when mixed together." (Oprah.com)
"Taut and suspenseful...this gritty page-turner will easily hook a broad range of [listeners]." (Booklist)
"An intense psychological thriller that all but ensures the lights will be left on between dusk and dawn." (Publishers Weekly)

Honestly, I am not a huge thriller reader
I typically go for more of a young adult coming of age type of book but this popped up in my suggestions and I am so glad it did. Definitely one of the best books I have ever read. I recommended it to my mom and I am so excited for her to read it so we can discuss it. I was really pulled in and got caught up in every twist and turn. Every time I thought I was one step ahead of Monica (the main character) I was wrong. I seriously wish this book had a sequel.

Really entertaining!
I really enjoyed this book. The story was a bit predictable, but most YA thrillers are and in general, it is a really entertaining listen. If you're in the mood for a YA thriller that handles the usual high school tropes in a unique and interesting fashion, pick this one up! Phoebe Strole does a fantastic job narrating and I listened to this all in one sitting as I couldn't stop until I knew how it ended!

I was shocked
I thought I had it all figured out. I was completely shocked when the truth actually unfolded. I think it would have been better if one person had done all the dirt. It turned out good anyway. I would recommend this book. It is a good read.
