Pretty Little Liars meets Ocean's 11 in this intrigue-filled contemporary drama from acclaimed author Kristen Simmons.
Welcome to Vale Hall, the school for aspiring con artists.
When Brynn Hilder is recruited to Vale, it seems like the elite academy is her chance to start over, away from her mom's loser boyfriend and her rundown neighborhood. But she soon learns that Vale chooses students not so much for their scholastic talent as for their extracurricular activities, such as her time spent conning rich North Shore kids out of their extravagant allowances.
At first, Brynn jumps at the chance to help the school in its mission to rid the city of corrupt officials--because what could be better than giving entitled jerks what they deserve? But that's before she meets her mark--a senator's son--and before she discovers the school's headmaster has secrets he'll stop at nothing to protect. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Brynn begins to realize she's in way over head.
3 Reasons You Should Read…
The Deceivers by Kristen Simmons
- Another Kristen Simmons SERIES?!? Yes, please. We love her words so much and the last few books have been stand alone novels so we were so ridiculously excited to find out that The Deceivers is part of a three book series called Vale Hall!
- You, guys. The swoon levels in this one are off the swoon-o-meter. Brynn and Caleb have that slow burn kind of romance that we love so much. And there’s kissing. Lots and lots of kissing. And back pockets. And… just trust us. Read it and you’ll be swooning too!
- If you’re looking for a new YA contemporary series to fall for, something that will read fast and leave you wanting more, something filled with twists, swoon, and characters that make you want to learn how to pull a con- look no further. This one is for you!
