There are no happy endings for the Princesses of Chaminade High in this short, twisty tale of teenage murder games by the New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil series.
The victims are the most popular girls in school, each murdered and arranged in a grim fairy-tale tableau. To find the killer, rookie detective Callum Pederson has gone undercover where the Princes hold court. He's found enough secrets among the bros to bring them in for questioning-but he could very well get lost in the games the Princes play.

This is a new author for me. I thought this was a terrific read. It's a bit different than other books in the Faraway series in that it's not obviously based on a well-known fairy-tale (well, not any I can recognise). I loved the structure the author uses, transcripts from police interviews with suspects in a series of bizarre fairy-tale murders and the undercover cop who infiltrated the school to get close to the suspects. This is a very dark read and the murders are quite gruesome even though they have fairy-tale elements. Who knew cute and whimsy could be so terrifying? I loved the combination of a crime thriller and a fairy-tale.
