My name is Olivia Viotto. And five years ago, I was murdered by my three best friends. Only, they didn’t finish the job. Now, I’m back as an undercover agent, eager to tear their world apart.
Confronting my past was never on my to-do list. Neither was going undercover as a man, returning to my hometown, or unravelling the skeletons in everyone’s closet. But here I am.
Five years ago, I died.
Almost.
How’s that phrase go? What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
So, I got stronger.
From the fiery remains of tragedy, a guardian angel saved me, resuscitating and bringing me into the underbelly of a super secret government agency, where I healed my body and mind. Yet the scars of that night never faded.
For years, I trained and brought down the bad guys. One person at a time.
Now, it’s their turn.
My ex-best friends. Huxley. JJ. Mack.
The three boys I loved with all my heart who betrayed me in the worst possible way.
My mission?
Go deep undercover, posing as a new male student named Oliver. Watch my ex-best friends. Infiltrate their frat to become a member and earn their trust.
Because something fishy is happening at Greenwood University.
Murder. Mayhem. Missing people. The list is endless in a sea of snakes.
Until it all goes impossibly wrong, my identity and life are at risk every step I take, and the bad guys are closing in. I’m forced to lean on the very people I swore vengeance on.
Nothing is ever as it seems. Lies are everywhere.
But I’m here to uncover it all.

Ms. Aly Beck has reeled me in once again! I was intrigued by Espie/Liv/Olivia when she was introduced in TAS, and getting another snippet of her in SS was awesome, but where there is more revealed is DD, and we get more Malic (I am claiming him as my top favorite book boyfriend! “No touchy!”)
Olivia was killed by her 3 friends/lovers 5 years ago, but was rescued and brought into a secret government agency. Now she is undergoing the biggest assignment of her career by going back to where it all happened, and having to investigate her ex-friends/lovers is bringing up a lot of grief and memories.
We get insight into the guys, and is what Olivia witnessed truly what happened? Add in 2 additional men, and we’re getting the start of an interesting relationship build. I’m hoping for a slow-burn, but I know Malic will bring his Maniac-ness and cause mayhem lol
As with all Aly Beck’s works, I’m keeping my investigative notebook by my side to keep track of my theories/ideas/suspicions (My list keeps growing because I keep rereading lol). I don’t trust anyone because even Olivia wasn’t provided with all the necessary information she believes she should have.
For lovers of previous characters popping in, we get Grumpy!
