    About this audiobook

    Family secrets turn deadly in this edgy page-turner about the insidious limits of labels and the ties that bind just a little too tightly, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod.

    Growing up, Adrien and his sister, Grace, competed viciously for everything. It wasn’t easy being the adopted sibling, but Adrien tried to get along; it was Grace who didn’t want anything to do with him. When their scientist parents died in a terrible lab fire, there was nothing left to hold them together.

    Now, after years apart, Adrien and Grace are forced to reunite at the elite boarding school where their parents were teachers. Being back around everyone he used to know makes Adrien question the person he’s become, while being back around Grace makes him feel like someone he doesn’t want to be.

    For as much as Adrien wants to move on, someone seems determined to reopen old wounds. And when Adrien starts to suspect that Grace knows more about their parents’ deaths than she let on, he realizes there are some wounds no amount of time can heal. If Adrien isn’t careful, they may even kill him.

      Adrien was adopted as a toddler and he has never gotten along with his sister Grace. She is a full believer that he is not really family, and those family bonds are going to be tested. Their parents die in the first chapter of this book. And while both kids go to boarding school, Adian tells his guardian that he wants to go to school far away from his sister. He wants nothing to do with her, as she wants nothing to do with him.Fast forward 4 years later. His guardian tells him to come home. At the same time he starts getting weird anonymous texts that say his sister Grace may have killed their parents to steal their chemical research, and he won't know unless he comes home. So home it is. It’s only supposed to be for a month. He can hold out for a month.This book is full of mystery. Did Grace have anything to do with her parent’s death? Was it really an accident? Plus Adrien has to navigate the school he used to go to, but now most people are on his sister’s side. Afterall he left his sister alone to deal with their parent’s death.This is a decently paced read. Adrien's journey to re-assimilate, find a new path in life, and discover what he wants to do after school is a joy to read. The story moves at a pretty jaunty pace. It is heartfelt and has it’s funny moments, and really feels like a teenages life. The ending however wound up quickly. It went from who does Adien really want to kiss, to hey here’s what really happened with that fire and oh by the way, the exploding bathtub didn’t go as planned. It was just way too quick. I had more questions. It was a fun listen, and Brewer can keep a reader entertained.#MusicChallnege (2 Evils) #BBRC - trans author
