The Soler sisters are infamous in polite society—brazen and rebellious. But their grandmother also knows the standards that two young Latina ladies will be held to, so she secures them coveted places at the Alarie House, a prominent finishing school. Younger sister Isla is back home within a day, but older sister Renata stays.
When she returns months later, she’s unfailingly pleasant, unnervingly polite, and, Isla discovers, possibly murderous. And the same night that Renata returns home, she vanishes.
Isla re-enrolls at the Alarie House, intent on finding out what happened to her sister. But the Alarie House is as exacting as it is opulent. It won’t give up its secrets easily, and neither will a mysterious, conniving girl who’s either controlling the house or carrying out its deadly orders.
Tautly written and evocative, this is a stunning YA novel by award-winning and critically acclaimed author Anna-Marie McLemore.
