Synopsis

AN EPIDEMIC OF TEENAGE SUICIDES LEAVES A RURAL COMMUNITY GRIEVING—AND THE DEATH TOLL KEEPS RISING. CAN KIKI GO UNDERCOVER AS AN ART TEACHER AT A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TO HELP?

SHE SHOULDN'T.

To clear her calendar, Kiki must juggle multiple obligations and make a tough decision: Can she trust her in-laws (including her alcoholic mother-in-law) to take an out-of-state vacation with her kids? To make everything work, Kiki must move in with her OTHER mother-in-law and that's enough to make Kiki want to commit suicide.

Once in place, Kiki suspects these are not just copycat deaths. There's another dynamic at work. Could it be that someone is encouraging vulnerable young adults to take their own lives?

Who would orchestrate something so evil? The perpetrator has to be someone inside the school. Where Kiki is. Alone. Defenseless. But who? And what if the mastermind realizes that Kiki is there to foil him . . . or her? As the body count rises, Kiki finds herself enmeshed in a high school culture full of secrets and crushed dreams.

Can Kiki figure out who is ordering the kids to die in time to save another teen's life? Or will she be the next victim on this cunning killer's hit list?

Goodreads review by Mallory on September 13, 2022

Trigger warnings for this book include teen suicide, self harm, and predatory adults, alcoholism, among others. This was a series of disappointments for me. We are back to a copious amount of editing errors. I'm not sure how an author gets her own characters wrong. But at one point she actually refe......more

It has been a while since I visited with Kiki and her gang and I am so glad I did. This one was a very sad story line, teenage suicide. Kiki goes undercover as an art teacher to try and figure out the why. She is staying with her evil mother in law and Detweiler seems to be taking his mother's side.......more
