An explosive dark academia thriller set in the world of the BookTok sensation Win Lose Kill Die, where secret societies and lethal ambition run the show.

"A thriller author to watch!"--Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

Chloe Roberts is on top of the world. After a stellar first year at the prestigious Morton Academy, she's a shoo-in for Head Girl and a coveted position in the school's secret society, Jewel and Bone. But her dreams are shattered when her best friend, Nikhita Patel, unfairly snatches the top spot--and steals Chloe's boyfriend at the same time.

Heartbroken and humiliated, Chloe discovers a shocking truth: Jewel and Bone isn't as secret as she thought. The rest of the school despises the Jewels, and there's even a "Book of Crime and Punishment" cataloging their misdeeds. Things take a very dark turn when the names in the book start to correlate with murders of Jewel and Bone members on campus. Suddenly, anyone could be a suspect.

And now, Chloe must navigate a web of lies and deceit to get to the bottom of this twisted game before she's next on the kill list.

Keep Your Friends Close is a gripping thriller that explores the dark side of ambition, loyalty, and the lengths people will go to claim what's theirs.
