Synopsis
That’s the day the
trouble started.
The trouble that nearly ruined my life.
The trouble that turned me Dark.
The trouble that begs me for revenge.
Celia Door enters her freshman year of high school with giant boots, dark eyeliner, and a thirst for revenge against Sandy Firestone, the girl who did something unspeakable to Celia last year.
But then Celia meets Drake, the cool new kid from New York City who entrusts her with his deepest, darkest secret. When Celia’s quest for justice threatens her relationship with Drake, she’s forced to decide which is sweeter: revenge or friendship.
This debut novel from Karen Finneyfrock establishes her as a bright, bold, razor-sharp new voice for teens.

Excerpt
Before Drake went inside for dinner, he turned to me and yelled, “See you
tomorrow at school.” I kept replaying those words in my head as I walked home. At school reverberated at the end of
each line, the way a bell keeps singing for a few seconds after you ring it.
