Alexa Donne delivers a nail-biting and timely thriller about teens who will stop at nothing to get into the college of their dreams. Too bad no one told them murder isn’t an extracurricular.

Rating: 4 Stars
My Review: This book was so full of twists and turns it was unputdownable. It kept me guessing right to the last page!! I do wish that the pacing would have kept up though out the entire story though. This was boring school thriller at its best.
