Warped Ambition

'TenBrink's writing is masterful; she weaves a mystery that will ensnare the most discerning fan of the genre from murder to resolution. The story itself is engrossing, thick with layers and false leads, hints and clues, and a school full of red herrings. Highly recommended!'

Jason Parent, author of Seeing Evil
