One of Us Is Lying meets Sadie
in this twisty, feminist thriller for the Me Too era.


The troublemaker. The overachiever. The cheer captain. The
dead girl. Like every high school in America, Jefferson-Lorne High contains all
of the above.


After the shocking murder of senior Emma Baines, three of
her classmates are at the top of the suspect list: Claude, the notorious
partier; Avery, the head cheerleader; and Gwen, the would-be valedictorian.


But appearances are never what they seem. And the truth
behind what really happened to Emma may just be lying in plain sight. As long
buried secrets come to light, the clock is ticking to find Emma's killer—before
another good girl goes down.

What reviewers said

Praise for We Rule the Night: “A fierce and compelling breakout debut that should not be missed.“ - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A breathless series starter from a new voice to watch.”
Booklist (starred review)
“Full of sharply realized characterizations, intriguing magical elements, and twisty plots.”
- School Library Journal (starred review)
"An interrogation of the ways in which society labels girls to make it easier to overlook, brush off, or directly deny evidence of sexual abuse and trauma."
