The Legacies

 
★ 《紐約時報》暢銷書 They Wish They Were Us 作者最新作品
 
　　每年，紐約市Legacy 俱樂部成員都會從校際聯盟中提名 36 名高三學生成為他們的一員。獲得 Legacy 俱樂部邀請不僅是一種榮耀，也讓會員享有終身的權力與財富。其中，Legacy 舞會是整場活動的高潮，選出的最終獲勝者將獲得一張支票，以及俱樂部董事會的一個席次。
 
　　故事在舞會後戲劇性地展開。一具屍體被運走，緊接著回溯到舞會的前四天。那天，四名高中生獲得提名，其中三位含著金湯匙出生的世家子弟獲選不足為奇，即便他們各自有著足以毀滅他們的秘密。但最讓人匪夷所思的是，來自皇后區，領著獎學金的 Tori 竟然也被提名？Tori 明白自己永遠無法適應這個以名牌包、豪華公寓，以及動輒百萬美元捐款所構築而成的世界，到底她是因何原因而入選？
 
　　在那個命定之夜，所有人都期待一個奢華的世界。沒有人想到他們的秘密可能會被揭露，或他們得付出生為代價，讓這些真相得以繼續被隱藏⋯⋯
 
　　The Legacies 是紐約時報暢銷書 They’ll Never Catch Us 和 They Wish They Were Us 作者 Jessica Goodman 的最新作品，以舞會前幾天發生的故事為背景，穿插不同人物的觀點與秘密，探討社會階層分化、毒品與酒精等社會問題。節奏明快、劇情緊湊，寫作技巧一流，獲譽為 Jessica Goodman 至今最精采的作品。

　　'"Our new favorite thriller." - COSMOPOLITAN
 
　　A glitzy YA thriller set in New York City elite social circles, filled with backstabbing and blackmail, twisty secrets, and a dead body, from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman.
Perfect for fans of Euphoria, Holly Jackson, and Jessica Knoll.
 
　　Old money. New secrets. One killer party.
 
　　Scoring an invitation for membership to the exclusive Legacy Club in New York City is more than an honor. It gives you a lifetime of access to power and wealth beyond any prep school doors and guaranteed safety and security as Legacy Club members always look out for their own. That is, after you make it through a rigorous week of events and the extravagant gala, the Legacy Ball.
 
　　So it's not surprising when Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, and Skyler Hawkins are nominated as Legacies; their family pedigrees have assured their membership since birth--even if they're all keeping secrets that could destroy their reputations. But scholarship kid from Queens Tori Tasso? She's a surprise nominee, someone no one saw coming. Tori's never fit in this world of designer bags, penthouse apartments, and million-dollar donations. So what did she do to secure her place?
 
　　The night of the Legacy Ball is supposed to be the best night of these seniors' lives, a night of haute couture, endless champagne, and plenty of hushed gossip.
 
　　Everyone expects a night of luxury and excess.
　　No one expects their secrets to come out.
　　Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden.
 
　　"Thrilling and unputdownable. This is Jessica Goodman's best work yet." -- Diana Urban, author of Lying in the Deep
