The Last to Die

Age range 14+

A fast-paced, dark YA thriller that explores what happens when a pact that starts out as a game among friends turns into something much more deadly.

Maybe Gin was right; we'd gone too far. Maybe we were beginning to ruin things ― ruin lives. Maybe this wasn't a game anymore.

Sixteen-year-old Harper Jacobs and her bored friends make a pact to engage in a series of not-quite illegal break-ins. They steal from each other's homes, sharing their keys and alarm codes. But they don't take anything that can't be replaced by some retail therapy, so it's okay. It's thrilling. It's bad. Everything is okay ― until the bold but aggravating Alex, looking to up the ante, suggests they break into the home of a classmate. It's crossing a line, but Harper no longer cares. She's proud of it. Until one of the group turns up dead, and Harper comes face-to-face with the moral dilemma that will make or break her-and, if she makes the wrong choice, will get her killed.
