DESCRIPTION:
This summer, meet your neighbors.
The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other.
On the night of the annual Summer block party, there has been a murder.
But, who did it and why takes readers back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold—discovering that the real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.

MY THOUGHTS:
The Meadowbrook Online Community Page is glad to be announcing its annual block party. Will a good time be had by all, or will an unspeakable event truly rock the citizens of Alton Road?
Nick and Alex Fox, the organizers, are working hard to make the party a success. However, the story quickly shifts between the present and a year ago, revealing that things are not going well. In fact, a group of teens is playing a dangerous game of revenge. Alcohol, drugs, and other illegal activities are also involved.
One thing that caught my attention, especially considering the younger perspectives, was the mention of the fable, The Scorpion and the Frog. Just that brief reference hints at the underlying dynamics between a couple of characters. The unexpected twists and turns throughout the book make it a stellar read.
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
