Paradise Lost
Reed has put the worst of last semester behind her. Cheyenne's murderer is known, and Reed now knows who has been stalking her. A five-star Caribbean vacation looks like the right way to recover from the heartache and turmoil.
Reed meets up again with Kiran and Taylor, fellow former Billings Girls, and the group takes over an exclusive island. Days pass on white-sand beaches, and nights pass at parties on sixty-foot yachts. Everything looks like heaven on earth.
Then, as the friends raise champagne flutes to toast one another, Reed begins to suspect the luxury is too good to last. The Billings Girls have a habit of attracting trouble, and a holiday this perfect may only be the calm before a storm.
The book is a teen mystery drama that follows the events of the previous semester, with a glamorous resort setting and an uneasy mood beneath the sunshine. The question it turns on is what is waiting for Reed behind the calm.
