From the #1 bestselling author of The Inheritance Games comes a fun, page-turning high school mystery duology. Meet the Squad—these cheerleaders are actually spies!

Meet the Squad—pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous.

AN IRRESISTIBLE TARGET
But evil lurks in Bayport, and Toby's newfound makeover has put a spotlight on her. Now there's her inconvenient—and growing attraction—to her mark, which might just get her killed...
