Wicked Games

Tainted love. Sexy secrets. A chilling revenge plot. It's all here in Wicked Games by Sean Olin, the first in a psychologically-charged, suspenseful series set in a picturesque coastal Florida town called Dream Point, where dangerous mind games are played with abandon.

Lilah has spent the last four years by her boyfriend Carter's side, and everyone thinks their relationship is rock solid. But behind closed doors, things are beginning to crumble. Just as Lilah's intensifying mood-swings are making Carter think about distancing himself from her, another girl enters the picture. Jules is beautiful, funny, smart, and artistic. Carter can't help but fall under her spell. But one stolen night of passion has consequences they could never imagine.

Fans of books packed with drama and doomed romance, like The Lying Game and Perfect Chemistry, will immediately be hooked by Wicked Games.

• Toxic Relationship: Lilah and Carter seem like the perfect couple, but behind the facade, her possessiveness is pushing him to the breaking point.
• A Dangerous Obsession: When Carter is drawn to a new girl, Jules, Lilah’s jealousy spirals into a chilling obsession that won’t let him go.
• Twisted High School Drama: One night of cheating ignites a revenge plot that turns the halls of Christopher Columbus High into a hunting ground.
• Atmospheric Florida Setting: In the seemingly perfect coastal town of Dream Point, dark secrets and psychological games lurk just beneath the sunny surface.

One perfect couple is about to crumble to pieces, right before everyone's eyes.

Carter has always been a good guy, and while Lilah has a troubled past, she's been a loyal girlfriend for the last four years. When smart, sexy Jules enters the picture at a senior-year bash, Carter doesn't intend to succumb to temptation. He doesn't intend to fall in love.

But Carter's best intentions add up to nothing when Lilah catches wind of his betrayal—and decides that Jules needs to pay. By the end of the summer, the line between right and wrong will be blurred beyond recognition. Blood will be shed. Nothing in Dream Point will ever be the same.

Wicked Games is the first book in a sexy thriller series where passion, lies, and revenge collide.

“With an eerie tip of the hat to Fatal Attraction, Olin examines the power and destructiveness of jealousy on not only the person experiencing it but on those faced with its unfortunate consequences...[the] terrifying trajectory quickly moves it from the typical romance to reality horror.” - Booklist
