Under the Rose

By Diana Peterfreund

The Washington Post called Diana Peterfreund's first novel, Secret Society Girl, "Undeniably juicy -- from steamy makeout sessions with campus hotties to cloak-and-dagger initiations." Now Peterfreund returns with a new novel, a wickedly brilliant look at what goes on behind padlocked doors when initiation is over and life as a full-fledged society member begins...

Amy Haskel made it into elite Eli University. then she made it into the ultraselective Order of Rose & Grave. Now a senior, Amy is looking her future squarely in the eye -- until someone starts selling society secrets. When a series of bizarre messages suggest conspiracy within the ranks and a female Knight mysteriously disappears, no member of Rose & Grave is safe... or above suspicion.

On her side, Amy has a few loyal Diggirls -- her fellow female Rose & Grave Knights. Against her? Certainly it's a group of Rose & Grave's uberpowerful patriarchs who want their old boys' club back. As new developments in her love life threaten to implode and the case of the vanished Diggirl gets weirder by the moment, Amy will need to use every society trick she's ever learned in order to set things right. Even if it means turning to old adversaries for help -- or discovering that the real foes are closer than she'd thought...
