Description
At Hawthorne Collegiate, reputation is everything - until someone dies. Jade Rivera was a quiet scholarship student in a school built for legacy. When she's found dead after an apparent fall, the story the school tells is neat, tragic, and clearly false. Monet Brookes isn't convinced. As the daughter of two high-profile attorneys, she knows how to spot a narrative crafted to protect power, and Hawthorne is full of people with something to hide. But peeling back the polished surface of campus life means exposing more than just one lie. As Monet digs deeper, she finds herself caught between privilege and justice, old secrets, and new alliances. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes to keep asking questions.
