Description
"The first lie made Lily a savior. The second framed Clara for murder.
If it weren't for Lily, Clara would still be a total outcast, shunned for her role in an incident that gave her a criminal record and ruined another girl's life. She's spent the past two years trying to escape that night, and ever since Lily Dalton befriended her, she's almost succeeded. After all, Lily's the golden girl of the high school—smart, popular, beloved by all. Being close to her means Clara is more than the notorious class criminal. Now she’s the bright, hard-working chemistry whiz who happens to be Lily’s best friend.
But is Lily really just the good-hearted friend who saved Clara from the past? Because lately Lily has been talking about certain classmates and teachers—about wanting revenge. Do you ever think about making them pay? she asks. How would you do it? Lily has to be joking. At least that's what Clara thinks, until she finds a folder that outlines a very specific attack plan, including detailed steps and a list of targets in their school.
Clara feels sick at the idea of turning her friend in, but she knows she has no choice. Too bad the authorities already know all about the deadly plan. Trouble is, they think Clara’s the one behind it. Because Lily’s real plan has nothing to do with the details Clara discovered—it’s all about framing Clara. After all, everyone already knows what she did two years ago.
Now, every single thing that could prove Clara’s innocence has been turned against her. And the people on that list of targets? One after the next, they’re meeting terrible fates, and Clara’s looking guiltier by the second. It's clear Lily has put yet another devious plan into motion, but what’s her end game? It's up to Clara to find the truth and clear her name, before it's too late."
