BEWARE THAT GIRL

The Haves. The Have-Nots.
Kate O’Brien appears to be a Have-Not. Her whole life has been a series of setbacks she’s had to snake her way out of—some more sinister than others. But she’s determined to change that. She’s book-smart. She’s street-smart. Oh, and she’s also a masterful liar.
As the scholarship student at the elite Waverly School in NYC, Kate has her work cut out for her: her plan is to climb the social ladder and land a spot at Yale. She’s already found her “people” among the senior-class “it” girls—specifically in the cosseted, mega-wealthy yet deeply damaged Olivia Sumner. As for Olivia, she considers Kate the best friend she’s always needed, the sister she never had.
When the handsome and whip-smart Mark Redkin joins the Waverly administration, he immediately charms his way into the faculty’s and students’ lives, becoming especially close to Olivia, a fact she’s intent on keeping to herself. It becomes increasingly obvious that Redkin poses a threat to Kate, too, in a way she can’t reveal— and can’t afford to ignore. How close can Kate and Olivia get to Mark without having to share their dark pasts?
Teresa Toten is in complete control of Waverly’s dysfunctional yet mesmerizing world. This powerful, twisted psychological thriller will keep readers guessing until the last line.
