1. Trust Me, I'm Lying
Fans
of Ally Carter's Heist Society novels will love this teen
mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s
Eleven–inspired action.
Julep Dupree tells lies. A lot of
them. She’s a con artist, a master of disguise, and a sophomore at
Chicago’s swanky St. Agatha High, where her father, an old-school
grifter with a weakness for the ponies, sends her to so she can learn to
mingle with the upper crust. For extra spending money Julep doesn’t
rely on her dad—she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging
the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average.
But
when she comes home one day to a ransacked apartment and her father
gone, Julep’s carefully laid plans for an expenses-paid golden ticket to
Yale start to unravel. Even with help from St. Agatha’s resident Prince
Charming, Tyler Richland, and her loyal hacker sidekick, Sam, Julep
struggles to trace her dad’s trail of clues through a maze of creepy
stalkers, hit attempts, family secrets, and worse, the threat of foster
care. With everything she has at stake, Julep’s in way over her head . .
. but that’s not going to stop her from using every trick in the book
to find her dad before his mark finds her. Because that would be
criminal.

Julep
Dupree is a lot of things--fixer, grifter, master of disguise. But one
thing she isn't is okay. Dealing with the emotional aftermath of the
death of someone close to her is proving difficult, especially for
someone who isn't supposed to care.
Then a friend of a friend
hires Julep's team to stop a cadre of cyber bullies, forcing Julep to
run an impossible con. Nothing Julep has been through could possibly
have prepared her for the truth behind the bullying, or for the demons
she'll have to face to save her friends.
2. Trust Me, I'm Trouble
The sequel to TRUST ME, I’M LYING
LITTLE SECRETS.
Staying
out of trouble isn’t possible for Julep Dupree. She has managed not to
get kicked out of her private school, even though everyone knows she’s
responsible for taking down a human-trafficking mob boss—and getting St.
Agatha’s golden-boy Tyler killed in the process. Running cons holds her
guilty conscience at bay, but unfortunately, someone wants Julep to pay
for her mistakes . . . with her life.
BIG LIES.
Against
her better judgment, Julep takes a shady case that requires her to
infiltrate a secretive organization that her long-gone mother and the
enigmatic blue fairy may be connected to. Her best friend, Sam, isn’t
around to stop her, and Dani, her one true confidante, happens to be a
nineteen-year-old mob enforcer whose moral compass is as questionable as
Julep’s. But there’s not much time to worry about right and wrong—or to
save your falling heart—when there’s a contract on your head.
Murders,
heists, secrets and lies, hit men and hidden identities . . . If Julep
doesn’t watch her back, it’s her funeral. No lie.
