The Scammer

By: Tiffany D. Jackson

Narrated by: January LaVoy

A New York Times Bestseller 2026 Audie Award Nominee “This suspenseful YA thriller is yet another testament to Jackson’s talent.”—ELLE New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson delivers another stunning, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller, following a freshman girl whose college life is turned upside down when her roommate’s ex-convict brother moves into their dorm and starts controlling their every move. Out from under her overprotective parents, Jordyn is ready to kill it in prelaw at a prestigious, historically Black university in Washington DC. When her new roommate’s brother is released from prison, the last thing Jordyn expects is to come home and find the ex-convict on their dorm room sofa. But Devonte needs a place to stay while he gets back on his feet—and how could she say no to one of her new best friends? Devonte is older, as charming as he is intelligent, pushing every student he meets to make better choices about their young lives. But Jordyn senses something sinister beneath his friendly advice and growing group of followers. When one of Jordyn’s roommates goes missing, she must enlist the help of the university’s lone white student to uncover the mystery—or become trapped at the center of a web of lies more tangled than she can imagine.

4⭐️

I got annoyed with some of the characters in the beginning, but in true Tiffany D. Jackson fashion, she switches things up and has you thinking how?! I didn’t completely guess the twist, but I had a feeling it had something to do with the FMC character’s past. Still, I really enjoyed the story. Once I got over the initial annoyance and the story started to come together, nobody was trustworthy, and I loved that. It’s fast paced, dramatic, and keeps you guessing, with twists that had me not trusting a single character. Overall, you really can’t go wrong with a book by Ms. Tiffany D. Jackson.

Love! Totally unexpected
