La academia

But everything takes an unexpected turn when the snow leaves them incommunicado and a corpse with obvious signs of violence appears on the scene. It will be then that the police will begin an investigation that will put the spotlight on those privileged students, who until recently trusted each other. However, now they must assume that there is at least one murderer among them. How would you act if the only people you could trust could also betray you?"--Adapted from back cover.

Forced to work together, Tess and Eliot have to find a way to re-trap the devil before he kills everyone they know and love, including, increasingly, each other. And compared to what the devil has in store for them, school stress suddenly doesn't seem so bad after all"--Provided by publisher.
