None of it will work if we’re not honest with each other.'” “Maybe it wasn’t nice to let Ryan deal with getting rid of Mary Beth on his own, but that wasn’t my problem.” ‘I think that’s one of those things I get to decide for myself, Pres,’ he said.” “‘David doesn’t want to learn anything from you people, I said, crossing my ankles.īut David jerked his head to look at me, something like irritation in his pace.

Seriously, it has more girlfriend/boyfriend drama than my whole IB class consisting of ~90 people. We have ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends and new relationships thrown all over the place. This book had way more dorama than needed. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her.

Now Harper can focus on the important things in life: school, canoodling with David (her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie), and even competing in the Miss Pine Grove pageant. The Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion months ago, and her best friend, Bee, has returned after a mysterious disappearance.
