THOSE GIRLS are Jinx Slater and Liberty Latiffe - lovely, rich, and wild seventeen-year-olds at the exclusive Stagmount School for Girls. They have the glittery seaside town of Brighton and an endless flow of cash at their fingertips. Nothing - not even their vile ex-housemistress - can slow them down in their pursuit of fun.

Then snobby new girl Stella Fox shows up and naïve Liberty falls under her spell. Jinx is determined to win back her best friend, even if it means waging war on power-hungry Stella. But when Jinx delves into Stella's past, she discovers there's a lot more than schoolgirl jealousy on the line . . . This time, Jinx could lose Liberty forever.
