    From the New York Times bestselling author of Fallen comes a lush story of deception, shame, and scandal fused with hints of Macbeth.

    “[Lauren] Natalie’s acid perspective drives Kate’s deliciously twisted story.”—Publishers Weekly

    “Lots of adjectives can be applied—mean, smutty, decadent—all of them compliments.”—Booklist

    Natalie Hargrove has been dreaming for years of being crowned senior class prom queen. She’s got everything it takes, beauty, popularity, and ambition.

    When a boy from her past threatens to ruin her flawless plan, Natalie sets into motion a chain of events meant to regain control. But she’s made one fatal mistake . . .

    Blackmail and buried desire, dark secrets and even darker deeds, cause Natalie to unravel. Because it turns out fate is the one thing more twisted than Natalie Hargrove.
