Fairest
Sixteen-year-old Mars Chang has suddenly blossomed—so her mother sends her away to a girls’ dance camp to avoid the gaze of newly interested men.

At camp, Mars just wants to work hard enough to earn a letter of recommendation for college. But instead, she finds herself connecting with an old friend, Alex, and making new friends willing to push their bodies to their breaking point. Amidst questionable mandatory supplements, grueling practices, and restrictive diets, Mars can think of little else. But when the lead suddenly breaks both her legs, Mars and Alex suspect sabotage.

As they investigate the camp’s illnesses and injuries, they realize their camp founder may be a real demon, not just a metaphorical one. Can they uncover the academy’s poisonous secret and stop the founder before she kills them?
