A teen mystery-thriller set in a small town for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Gossip Girl.
Would you kill when faced with losing it all?
Two things define the small town of Shadow Creek, Oklahoma. The gossip account CreekTalk is always out to ruin lives, and everyone is desperate for their ticket out. This is also true for senior Nellie Castle. She's been killing herself the last four years to get the grades that will help her go to MU and study journalism, fulfilling her late mother's dreams. She's also been rebuilding a reputation torn apart by her once-friend-now-enemy, Sophia McCracken, and CreekTalk. She just wants to get through senior year without any issues, leave, and never come back.
Unfortunately, CreekTalk and Sophia have other plans.
First, the gossip account releases a rumor that's eerily similar to one started about Nellie freshman year -- one that devastated her family and a family friend. Except this time, it targets Sophia.
Then, Sophia goes missing.
Then, she turns up dead in the local lake.
Now, everyone at Shadow Creek High School is convinced that Nellie or Sophia's ex (and Nellie's former crush), Caleb Buchanan, had something to do with it. Nellie tells herself she's only covering the story for the school newspaper, but the more she digs and uncovers, the more she starts to realize that no one in town is who they say they are. Not Caleb, not Sophia, not Nellie's favorite cousin Oliver, or her best friend Charlie. Not even Nellie herself.
However, will Nellie manage to bring the truth to light? Or will she end up dead at the bottom of Shadow Creek Lake too?
