All Families Have Secrets. Some Kill For Them.

Book-smart, broke and toting a self-deprecating sense of humor, Esther Holland is nobody's idea of a seasoned seductress. She's more comfortable with a worn-out paperback than a cocktail dress, and her only experience with high-stakes intrigue comes from late-night movies.

When the enigmatic Caron recruits her into the Family—a secret sorority where smart, beautiful women master the art of deception—she is christened “Star” and dropped into a fairytale of glamour and luxury. But once a high-stakes assignment goes horribly wrong, the velvet curtain is torn away, plunging Star into the Family's dark secrets and striking midnight on her new life.

Armed with only a notebook and a knack for noticing what she shouldn't, Star begins her own unique style of investigation and learns that in the Family, the most devastating truths don't exist between the lines—they're hidden in the margins.

A slow-burn mystery of loyalty and deception, The Family is a story about what happens when the right girl starts asking the wrong questions.
