A Meth Dealer. A Prostitute. A Serial Killer.
Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.
Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?

I love the twist of a school being for criminals. Usually we see exclusive schools for the heroes, but never for the bad guys. Now I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great twist on the school storyline!

Two days ago I hadn't heard of this, then someone won a giveaway I was hosting and asked for this for their February 2013 YA release. It sounds like such a different, awesome, amazing read!
