A scholarship kid with straight As and massive potential, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she’d be someone.

But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as a private tutor to the children of Los Angeles’s super-rich.

Everything changes when Evie arrives at the Victor family’s lavish mansion for her weekly lesson to discover, not the bored teenager she excepted, but pure carnage: the bloody remains of Mr and Mrs Victor sullying their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help from within the walls of the house.

Within moments, Evie and the woman go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.

Suddenly at the heart of a nation-wide manhunt, Evie finds that her mysterious companion, who refuses to speak, has quickly become the most important person in her upside-down life. Meanwhile, the press runs wild with Evie’s story – anointing her the new Charles Manson, a blood thirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war.

Evie is – finally and disastrously – someone.

My Thoughts:

I love the cover of this book, it is so bright and vibrant and the plot sounded really good too. Evie has done well in life so far, but after getting into university that is when things really start to hit rock bottom. Evie ends up working at as a private tutor for a wealthy family to get the money rolling in again. But when Evie turns up at the house, she cannot believe what she is seeing, a murder scene. But as Evie is caught up in it all as an innocent bystander the police have questions for her alongside another woman who was looking on. Can the pair make the police understand they had nothing to do with it. It was such a quirky and unusual story but I loved how the story unfolded. It had a murder, a mystery and two powerful women who weren’t going to let anyone tell them what to do. I loved it. Pure genuis.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
