Be careful who you fall for...

Robbie and Trevor Cresmont have a body count—the killer kind. Handsome and privileged, the Crestmont brothers have enough wealth to ensure they'll never be found guilty of any wrongdoing, even if all of Happy Valley believes they're behind the deaths of their ex-girlfriends. First there was soccer star Victoria Moreno, Robbie's ex, who mysteriously drowned at the family lake house. Then, a year later, Trevor's girlfriend died of a suspicious overdose.
But the Crestmonts aren't the only ones with secrets. Lauren O'Brian might be the new girl at school, but she's never been a good girl. With a dark past of her own, she's desperate for a fresh start. Except when she starts a no-strings-attached relationship with Robbie, her chance is put in jeopardy. During what's meant to be their last weekend together, Lauren stumbles across shocking evidence that just might implicate Robbie.
With danger closing in, Lauren doesn't know who to trust. And after a third death rocks the town, she must decide whether to end things with Robbie or risk becoming another cautionary tale.
This is an edge-of-your-seat debut YA thriller about a teen who is forced to confront her past in order to catch a murderer before she ends up the next victim. Perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

      In Lundy’s classic-feeling debut, enigmatic new girl Lauren O’Brian is starting senior year at Valley High in Happy Valley, Pa., after moving from California. Determined to start over and make good, she admits to having screwed up her life and insists that her past should stay in the past. She’s made scores of new friends and solidified her place on the soccer team when she finds out that her casual hookup partner, Robbie Crestmont, is rumored to have murdered his former girlfriend. What’s more, Robbie’s younger brother Trevor is also thought to have killed his girlfriend. But the Crestmonts are wealthy, and their father is the most powerful person in town, so neither boy has ever been charged. Lauren decides she must solve the girls’ murders and, in doing so, her own mysterious past slowly comes to light. While many of the characters’ morally gray personalities dampen the surprise of the killer’s reveal, Lundy effectively employs all the hallmarks
      of a successful mystery thriller to spin a suspenseful yarn with a feminist bent. Most major characters are white. Ages
      14–up.
