Book Overview
Kristen Simmons, the author of the Article 5 series and The Glass Arrow, brings her remarkable imagination to this intrigue-filled contemporary drama where good kids are needed to do some very bad things in The Deceivers.
Brynn Hilder is desperate to escape her rundown neighborhood and hopeless future for better things--at any cost. She spends her free time conning spoiled, entitled rich kids out of their allowances, and any guilt she feels is worth the ultimate goal: college.
When she's recruited to the elite, mysterious Vale Hall, it seems too good to be true...and maybe it is. Turns out, she's been brought in for a reason, and it's not her good grades.
The director of Vale wants Brynn to put her conning skills to use on much bigger, riskier targets. Instead of Honors English, her assigned reading is A History of Scams. She'll be graded on how well she can execute classic hustles and deceptions.
But this might just be where Brynn belongs. For the first time ever, she has what feels like real friends. And there's Caleb--hot, smart, and he seems really into her. Then again, they're all basically professional liars. The only one who seems honest is the senator's son she's been assigned to con for her semester project...but he wouldn't be her mark if he wasn't hiding something.
As truth and lies begin to blur all around her, Brynn will have to decide how far she's willing to go to get what she wants, and how much of her true self she's willing to risk.
Honesty may be the best policy, but at Vale Hall, cheaters always win.
