Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of You Betrayed Me delivers a “juicy creep-a-thon . . . [that] builds to a surprising cliffhanger ending” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
 
At first, it sounds like the answer to a parent’s prayers: an elite boarding school in the Oregon mountains where wayward kids turn their lives around. But behind the idyllic veneer lie disturbing rumors of missing students and questionable treatments.
 
Jules Farentino knows her half-sister, Shaylee, has been going off the rails lately. She’s just not sure Blue Rock Academy is the answer. Accepting a teaching position there lets Jules keep an eye on Shay, but also confirms her fears. One student is found hanged, another near death. Something sinister is at hand—and Jules may already be too late to stop it.
 
As a brutal snowstorm sweeps in, cutting off the remote campus from the rest of the world, Jules will discover the Academy’s dark secrets, and confront a murderous evil without limits, without remorse, without mercy . . .
 
“Her latest whodunit hits all the marks, taking readers on a nail-biting roller-coaster ride.” —Library Journal
 
Praise for Lisa Jackson and her novels
 
“Lisa Jackson shows yet again why she is one of the best at romantic suspense. A pure nail biter.” —Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
 
“Shiveringly good suspense! Lisa Jackson ratchets up the tension . . . Each chapter will leave you wondering who to trust. The answer: You don’t want to know . . .” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    This was a great book I found myself putting off homework just to finish. I love the twist at the end!
  • No likable characters

    I prefer a book that has at least one character that is likable ... I couldn't find a single character in this book that I thought had any socially redeeming qualities. I gather the author is considering a sequel ... I appreciate her giving me a heads up on it; At least I know ahead of time not to waste my time or money on it.
  • Very good mystery

    Well written with enough of a romantic plot to keep the brutality of the subject from being overwhelming.
