A Deadly Inheritance

De: Kelley Armstrong

Narrado por: Veronica Hortiguela

After discovering she's an heiress to a billion-dollar corporation, seventeen-year-old Liliana finds herself at a new boarding school where she must navigate secret societies and a deadly competition. Not to mention two handsome boys.

The Reappearance of Rachel Price meets The Inheritance Games series in this new YA thriller from bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.

In the wake of her mother's death, Liliana Chamberlain's estranged (and very wealthy) grandparents swoop in. Or their lawyer does. Her grandparents aren't ready to meet her, but they want her to have the life her mother walked away from, starting with Westdale Academy, the elite boarding school her mother attended. It should be a Cinderella dream come true, but Lili has serious misgivings. Yet she doesn't have a choice, being under eighteen and dead broke.

Westdale Academy is a school of secrets as well as intriguing classmates, including Hollywood golden boy Theo Dubois and the mysterious Maddox Moreno. As she gets to know them all, Lili realizes there's more to the school than elite-level networking. Something deadly.

For the new girl at school, investigating the deaths of past students — including Maddox's own sister — is a very dangerous game. Do those deaths have something to do with why her mother fled Westdale at the cost of her inheritance?

When a fun night out turns bloody, Theo is the prime suspect, and Liliana must race against time to connect the past with the present and discover the truth behind her inheritance.

Fascinating, sweet, and engrossing

I bought this book by accident. As someone in my 50s, I never would have purchased a YA novel. I just love Kelly Armstrong’s work so snapped it up when I saw the new release. And I’m so glad I did. There was nothing teen romance about the book despite the age of the characters and private high school. As usual, Kelly shows us that healthy, supportive relationships with flawed characters can look like. I found it mature and surprising and a good mystery.

Gripping story

I am a little old for YA fiction but I found the story gripping and surprising!
