“Samantha Downing delivers a slick and chilling thriller, leading readers on a dark, sinuous journey through the halls of Belmont Academy—the type of place where you’re never sure who to trust, or who to fear. Suspenseful, surprising, and completely original.”
—Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author of The Last House Guest
“Dark, sly and delicious…totally original—and totally compelling.”
—JP Delaney, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before

“Samantha Downing serves up another cast of deliciously mendacious characters in an exclusive private school setting, where the deadly action drives a brilliantly tense, taut and twisty plot. I may never look at my coffee in the same way again.”
—Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew
“All the dark fun of Election, but with Downing’s signature, diabolical spin. For Your Own Good is so utterly unputdownable, I look forward to reading it again. I think even the novel’s own trickiest private school teacher, Teddy Crutcher, would have to give it an A+.”
—Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network
“Downing’s spare prose packs a wallop as she deftly ratchets up the suspense with every hairpin turn of this lean, mean, surprising, and utterly propulsive thriller.”
—Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The Stranger Insider
“So dark and twisted, so deliciously evil, it’ll not only make you frantically turn those pages to find out who’s targeting whom, but the wry sense of humor will have you laughing out loud, too. Another phenomenal wild-ride of a read from one of the crime-writing community’s most talented authors. Bet you’ll never look at high-school the same way again.”
—Hannah Mary McKinnon, bestselling author of Sister Dear
