The Waitlist Girl: Murder for Scholarship

By: Harris, J.

She wasn't supposed to get the scholarship.
Mireya Kade was perfect, brilliant, kind, destined for Halcyon Academy.
Elara Voss was... almost.
Then Mireya was found dead in her own home and the town needed someone to blame.
Elara had been there that night and she left something behind.
As whispers turn to accusations, Elara's life becomes a battlefield. Her grades are sabotaged, her locker is broken into, her belongings destroyed, anonymous messages flood her phone, calling her a murderer.
At the center of it all stands Serena Bell, rich, untouchable, and dangerously obsessed and Rowan Hale, the golden boy who reminds Elara daily that she is "living someone else's life."
But when the bullying gets unbearable and Elara publicly declares to find the killer, the investigation takes a turn no one expects.
Seren becomes the prime suspect.
Because jealousy leaves traces and obsession leaves DNA.
And some girls will kill for the future they think they deserve. But the truth about that night? It's darker than anyone knows.
Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with morally gray heroines, obsessive rivalries, and shocking final twists, this haunting novel asks one chilling question.
If you could take someone else's life... would you?
