About this eBook
Set in the ruthlessly competitive world of elite boarding schools, this debut psychological thriller reads like a cross between Black Swan and Donna Tartt's The Secret History
A rising star in the world of ballet, Nia Washington fought her way up from the streets and was nearing the pinnacle of her profession when an injury and a broken heart derailed her career. Taking a temporary job at an elite boarding school was supposed to give her time to nurse both body and soul. It was supposed to be a safe place to launch a triumphant comeback.
Shortly after she arrives at the beautiful lakeside campus, she discovers the body of a murdered student, and her life takes a truly dark turn. It's not long before she is drawn into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with a ruthless killer. And Nia isn't the only target. She must use all of her street smarts to protect her dancers, save a wrongfully accused student, and rescue the man she loves.
A stunning and suspenseful tale of passion and betrayal, Holahan takes readers deep into the mind of a murderer and the woman who must put an end to the killing.

This novel captivated me from cover to cover. Suspense ruled the day as Holahan created a wildly original and thought provoking novel. Plot twists abound as you get drawn into this captivating world. Holahan’s descriptions brought everything to life with dark undertones, giving the entire tale a chilling feel. The cast of characters in this novel really took the story to a new level. The intensity with which they were developed created an unforgettable bond between the characters and the reader. Not only did I get to know them well, but the little details that emerged throughout the story made it even better. Holahan has melded suspense with life to create this awe inspiring story. It’s a must read for those who enjoy the genre. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
