{about the book}
Joshua Hanover had it all. He was
handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the
ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab
partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the
chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have
come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not
only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive
ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their
threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to
poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know
who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth
the price he’s paying to be a player.
Genre: Young Adult Thriller
Tour Host: Lady

Someone
else came over to offer Nadine their congratulations, so Josh said
goodbye and went to his locker to get his backpack. He figured he
would meet up with Andrea and Rosa in the parking lot. He fumbled
with the combination before finally getting the door to swing open.
Something glittered on the top shelf and caught his eye. He reached
for it, and a small scrap of paper fluttered to the floor.
At first he wasn’t sure what he was holding. It was a pink
plastic tiara with some big gaudy plastic jewels. It was the type of
thing he had seen in dollar stores for little girls’ birthday
parties. It was practically broken in half, and the edges were sharp.
Josh pricked his finger on the jagged point, and a few drops of blood
welled from the small wound. He put his finger in his mouth as he
bent to pick up the paper that had fallen. When he read it, the
broken crown suddenly made sense and he wondered how he could have
been so naïve. He should have realized from the instant he saw it
what it meant.
Now one of his girls is
under the ground.
Another has a big bump on
her head.
And by the end of the
dance, the queen will be dead.”

{my thoughts}
What an excellent book! I didn't have a clue what was happening. Every time I thought I did...there was another twist. Wonderfully suspenseful romance. When you first start reading (and see the cover) you automatically have an idea of how Josh is...but as you read everything changes. It was amazing and I really enjoyed the book!
