What you need to know before your trail

Sarah Taylor is the new girl at St. Ambrose. Exiled to the elite New England boarding school, Sarah finds the girls here are glossy and sharp-tongued. Withdrawn, prickly and fragile, she doesn’t fit in.

Greta won’t let Sarah forget that she’ll never be one of them. But Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her.

Yet the line between teenage rivalry and something much darker is thin. When someone ends up dead, Sarah finds herself unravelling.

Just how far will she go to protect her own secrets? And is she prepared for what the other girls will do to do the same?

Travel Guide

Massachusetts, New England

The St Ambrose school for Girls is of course not real and you will be pleased when you read this! The book is set in this fictional school and this is the main location so the book isn’t big on trail locations – however this is a great book for the setting of a girl’s school which is both claustrophobic and atmospheric.

Mental health, friendship, loyalty, jealousy, corruption and danger are all pupils here!
