After discovering she's an heiress to a billion-dollar corporation, seventeen-year-old Liliana finds herself at a new boarding school where she must navigate secret societies and a deadly competition. Not to mention two handsome boys.
The Reappearance of Rachel Price meets The Inheritance Games series in this new YA thriller from bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.
In the wake of her mother's death, Liliana Chamberlain's estranged (and very wealthy) grandparents swoop in. Or their lawyer does. Her grandparents aren't ready to meet her, but they want her to have the life her mother walked away from, starting with Westdale Academy, the elite boarding school her mother attended. It should be a Cinderella dream come true, but Lili has serious misgivings. Yet she doesn't have a choice, being under eighteen and dead broke.
Westdale Academy is a school of secrets as well as intriguing classmates, including Hollywood golden boy Theo Dubois and the mysterious Maddox Moreno. As she gets to know them all, Lili realizes there's more to the school than elite-level networking. Something deadly.
For the new girl at school, investigating the deaths of past students — including Maddox's own sister — is a very dangerous game. Do those deaths have something to do with why her mother fled Westdale at the cost of her inheritance?
When a fun night out turns bloody, Theo is the prime suspect, and Liliana must race against time to connect the past with the present and discover the truth behind her inheritance.

"Another great story from Kelley Armstrong. A huge inheritance, estranged grandparents, a boarding school with some shady characters, and some attempts on the main character's life. What more could you want from a mystery novel? Kelley kept me guessing right to the end. Highly recommend."
— Shauna M. (4/5)
Great YA Thriller
"I picked up this book solely because it was written by Kelley Armstrong. I absolutely loved her Rockton & Havens Rock series. As well as some of her commentary romances. This book is a YA Thriller which is not usually something I reach for but I saw it being compared to the Inheritance Games and I loved that series so I was on board. I enjoyed the mystery of the book. I felt it was a bit slow in the beginning but I still enjoyed the experience of our FMC getting used to her new life as a heiress. The School setting for this book was very cool. It reminded me a bit of the school Rory went to in Gilmore Girls. So I was picturing that the whole time. I wasn’t big on the romance aspect of the book but I enjoyed the side characters. Overall I did have fun with this book. It’s easy to follow and I did not predict the ending which is always a nice surprise in a thriller. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a YA Thriller with a side of romance (all closed door scenes, light kissing only). 0. 5/5 🫑"
