The Legacies by Jessica Goodman

Step into the world of the rich and ruthless in The Legacies, an intoxicating YA thriller that’s a cocktail of glamor, deceit, and nail-biting suspense.

From the cunning mind of New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman comes a story as addictive as the elite parties it unveils.

The Legacies follows the glittering lives of Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, Skyler Hawkins and the surprising addition of scholarship student Tori Tasso.

In the heart of New York City’s high society, the Legacy Club holds the keys to power, privilege, and the secrets of the city’s most illustrious families. However, beneath the shiny veneer lies a tangled web of secrets threatening to unravel the façade they’ve meticulously crafted.

The Legacy Ball—the event of the year—promises couture gowns, flowing champagne, and more secrets than the city’s skyline can hold.

Goodman’s prose is a seductive dance that ensnares readers in the intoxicating allure of wealth and power. The pages practically shimmer with luxury, but the undertow of deceit is ever-present, pulling you into its depths.

And when tragedy strikes—an unexpected death that sends shockwaves through the revelry—secrets are laid bare.

The Legacies is a heart-racing thrill ride that keeps you guessing until the final moments. With every revelation, every gasp-worthy twist, Goodman tightens the screws of suspense, leaving you desperate to unravel the riddle at its core.
