I’m Cassie Romano, and I learned this the hard way, leaving sunny San Diego for a teaching position at a private school in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York after my two-timing boyfriend left me heartbroken and in need of a change.
It all seemed so perfect in June when I came to interview. But now it’s December, and I’m stranded on top of a mountain surrounded by snow, ice, and acres of wilderness.
And now Kimi Choy is…dead?
Everyone’s trying to chalk it up to a tragic accident. Not me, though. I have a feeling something twisted is going on at Falcon Ridge Academy. And that was confirmed by a cryptic letter from a dead teacher that arrived today, warning me to watch my back. Last week, she said she had something to tell me, and I didn’t make time. Now it’s too late, and I feel horrible about it.
I have secrets of my own, though, so I’m reluctant to get involved. I know I should keep my mouth shut, do my time, and leave this creepy place. But the guilt is pushing me to dig further.
And the consequences could be deadly.
