My second year at Apex is going to be different.

That's what I've been telling myself, but I'm no fool. The Council can repair the damage to campus from last year, but it won't change the rot beneath the surface.

Someone is killing students and we don't know why, much less who.

My gut tells me my mother is paw deep in this nightmare, but is she the one pulling the strings or there a darker force at play? With my besties and the five professors who have sworn to protect me, I'm coming back to a viper's nest of enemies and dark secrets. Until we figure out who the murderer lurking in our midst is, I'll never be safe.

"Run, rabbit run" isn't just a taunt anymore.

It's the only way I'll stay alive.
