Going into her senior year, Izzy is counting down the days until she can leave her humdrum life behind, until Alberto, a handsome and mysterious Italian exchange student shows up for his stay with her family. Now life in her hometown doesn't seem so drab, as Izzy, and everyone else, is immediately charmed by Alberto and his irresistible accent.\u003cbr\u003eBut something about Alberto isn't quite...right. As an avid true crime fan, Izzy has been following a serial killer case in San Francisco and the murderer, whose description bears a passing resemblance to the Italian exchange student living in her house, seems to have made his way north. As Izzy pays closer attention to Alberto--his actions, his temper--she finds more and more holes in his story that he has trouble explaining away.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a local girl is murdered, Izzy thinks Alberto might not be who he seems. Worse, a series of \"accidents\" seem to target Izzy herself. In a race against the clock, Izzy must convince \u003ci\u003eanyone\u003c\/i\u003e that Alberto could be a notorious killer before another girl ends up dead.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGretchen McNeil \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of twelve young adult novels, including \u003ci\u003e#MurderTrending, \u003c\/i\u003ethe #1 YALSA Teens' Top Ten pick of 2019; \u003ci\u003eTen\u003c\/i\u003e which was a 2013 YALSA Top Ten Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and was adapted as the Lifetime original movie\u003ci\u003e Ten: Murder Island\u003c\/i\u003e in 2017; and \u003ci\u003eGet Even \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGet Dirty\u003c\/i\u003e, adapted as the BBC\/Netflix series \u003ci\u003eGet Even\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRebel Cheer Squad.\u003c\/i\u003e.
