Stevie Bell applies to Ellingham Academy and is accepted. Her ultimate goal is to solve the Truly Devious case, in which the wife and daughter of a rich philanthropist where kidnapped, his wife murdered, and his daughter never found. But, things become more complicated when one of Steve's housemates dies under mysterious circumstances.
I loved the plot line of this book. It was while paced with twists well placed to keep the page turning and the reader hooked. I also love the diverse cast of characters. The only thing that could have made it better for me would of the language and relationships weren't so juvenile. You could tell this was a young adult read, which is fine, but sometimes it had me cringing.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book, they all felt real and their were characters I trusted and characters I was very suspicious of but the story kept me questioning whether my opinions were eighth or wrong. The story was interesting and I want to know more about it and the ending made me desperately want to immediately pick up book 2 to find out more.
