Her book The Deceivers makes you question what’s right and what’s wrong. “The starving child who steals bread to survive, is he wrong?

Brynn is the main character, and she is invited to the school. The school is in a mansion. They are given all kinds of stuff. And if they are successful, they will be sent to the college of their choice. As we follow Brynn through the story we see her questioning things, but she gets her assignment and starts her long con. In the meantime, she makes friends in the school and starts crushing on Caleb. This is definitely more than meets the eye and nothing and no one is what they seem. Our MC comes from a horrible background and finally escapes it. It finally seems like she will be getting a better life and a bright future. But did she trade one prison for another?
