Starting this book and hearing all the amazing reviews set high expectations for me, and this book exceeded them! Set in a college environment, the main character navigates his way through a prestigious and close-knit group majoring in Greek. The lives of these six students gradually take a turn for the worse as their new ways of thinking bring them to face difficult situations and solutions. The character developments and plot-twists draw you in, keeping you on your toes, leaving the reader amazed.- Altea, twelfth-grade teen volunteer
Publisher's description:
Richard Papen had never been to New England before his nineteenth year. Then he arrived at Hampeden College and quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus life--in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance, highly unapproachable.
