Goodreads:  Death brings some families closer, but it’s ripped mine apart. I wanted to convince the police that they had the wrong suspect...but I never expected them to start suspecting me. Now, I have no choice but to keep searching for the truth, even if all my relationships fall to pieces around me.

Someone is trying to make me look guilty. I never thought my mission to prove my own innocence would lead me to more family secrets. I thought I had already discovered the truth about myself. But every answer raises more questions, and everything I think I know is about to change...again.

I have to find the truth, no matter how much it hurts -- before I get charged with murder.



Kritters Thoughts:  A little darker than the first book as it centers on the murder of one of the students as they all try to help solve it by pointing fingers at each other.  Chloe/Rain is still the main character as she tries to maneuver through this new world of money and lies and mystery.  

The first book deals with her transition to a new family, this book takes her into the inner workings of the elitist community as she tries to solve a major mystery.  Along the way she learns more truths about the family that is now hers.  I loved continuing her story and learning more about her adventure.  Again the characters were dynamic and so entertaining - I was excited to know that I had one more book to read with this team of characters.

As this is the second book of the series, I can't share too much, because you have to start at the beginning to read it all.  This ebook series is perfect for the adult fan of YA and the YA audience at the same time.
