Orphan twins, Rose and Bel, are in a new school. They have always been different. In this new school however their difference is all the more glaring as they try to fit in. They are fighting a lot and now one of them winds up dead while the other is accused of being the murderer.
Sarah and Heath have just been appointed as dorm heads for Moreland hall to clean up its reputation. Sarah hates the job but Heath loves it because it is the ladder to the position he covets.
So when things begin to go wrong at the hall Sarah is worried because there is nothing she wants more than for her husband to succeed. But what would they have to do to ensure his success. Things come to a head in Moreland's reputation with a dead student on the school grounds.
We get to know who the killer is earlier than most whodunit stories but because this is also about the reaction of the characters it does not take away from the story. Beyond whodunit, this is about family, love, betrayal, trust and ambition.
When I saw some of the reviews I was worried I would not like it. I am so glad I decided to read this.
For people who love plot driven novels with lots of twists and turns you will love this.
Young adults are more likely to enjoy this one.

Twins Rose and Bel Enright have enrolled in a very prestigious boarding school, and while Rose excels there, Bel falters. She starts hanging around with a dangerous crowd of spoiled rich kids who dare Bel to haze her own sister and the twins fall out. While Rose seeks advice and counseling from her dorm mother, Sarah, Bel gets her attention from Sarah’s husband, Heath, who is a teacher at the school. The fallout from these relationships seems inevitable, but Campbell throws more than a few twists into her reader’s paths until they may find the ending very surprising
