Description
In Texas, football is life. For Finn Geringer, it's a ticket to a better future. Transferring to East Pages High, Finn hopes to secure a college scholarship and a chance to provide for his grandmother. In this town where football reigns supreme, East Pages seems perfect. Until it's not. Finn's girlfriend, Megan, notices rival players absent from games. As she digs deeper, her life becomes increasingly dangerous: Mysterious cars tail her, strangers issue threats, and she's sure someone's been in her bedroom. Is it her imagination, or is East Pages hiding a dark secret? Meanwhile, Finn's cousin, Brit, the head cheerleader, revels in the perks of popularity and the prestige of attending a renowned sports school. But when a football player dies, she learns that her peers are purposely keeping her in the dark. Is her popularity an illusion? Finn must choose between pursuing his dreams or uncovering the truth. As he, Brit, and Megan unravel the team's mysteries, they face a powerful force determined to protect the school's legacy at all costs. From veteran author Heather Buchta comes a gripping second-guessing game of suspicion and paranoia, romance and reputation, and the lengths people will go to protect who - and what - they love.

"Widening the pool of people possibly involved in shady goings-on as the plot progresses, Buchta heightens the tension in this intense, high-stakes thriller. Each member of the cast brings a unique perspective to the challenges they face, and the three leads' alternating narration adds to the feelings of suspense. The inclusion of strong girls, particularly Brit, who won a cybersecurity award, is refreshing. A twisty, fast-paced thriller that will keep readers guessing." -Kirkus Reviews
"Buchta's third novel ramps up the paranoia slowly, and readers will be drawn into the mystery of whether the team is cheating or if there's something otherworldly at fault." -Booklist
