“The thing is, being
lonely is like walking in the cold without a coat. It’s uncomfortable, but
eventually you go numb. Once you get used to not being lonely, though, the
shock of going back is like having your down comforter yanked off at six
o’clock on a Minnesota December morning.”
The Conspiracy of Us
A fast-paced
international escapade, laced with adrenaline, glamour, and romance--perfect
for fans of Ally Carter
Avery West's newfound family can shut down Prada when they want to shop in peace, and can just as easily order a bombing when they want to start a war. Part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle, they believe Avery is the key to an ancient prophecy. Some want to use her as a pawn. Some want her dead.
To unravel the mystery putting her life in danger, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the monuments of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul with two boys who work for the Circle—beautiful, volatile Stellan and mysterious, magnetic Jack. But as the clues expose a stunning conspiracy that might plunge the world into World War 3, she discovers that both boys are hiding secrets of their own. Now she will have to choose not only between freedom and family--but between the boy who might help her save the world, and the one she's falling in love with.

Map of Fates
Two weeks.
That’s how long it took for Avery West’s ordinary life to change
forever: In two weeks, she discovered she was heiress to a powerful secret
society known as the Circle, learned her mother was taken hostage by the
Circle’s enemies, and fell for a boy she’s not allowed to love, just as she
found out another was her unwelcome destiny.
Now, Avery crosses oceans in private jets to hunt for clues that
will uncover the truth about the Circle, setting her mom and herself
free before it’s too late. By her side are both the boys:
Jack—steady, loyal, and determined to help her even at the expense of his own
duty—and Stellan, whose connection to Avery grows stronger by the day despite
her best intentions, making her question what she believes at every turn.
But at the end of a desperate hunt from the islands of Greece to
the red carpet at Cannes comes a discovery that not only changes everything,
but could bring the whole world to its knees. And now Avery is forced to face
the truth: in the world of the Circle, no one is what they seem.
The thrilling conclusion to the romantic adventure series that TeenVogue.com calls, a "Da Vinci Code-style thriller for teens."
Power balances on a knife's edge. Destiny is uncertain. And love is the most terrifying thing of all.
The Circle of Twelve is not who Avery though they were. Neither is Avery.
Her mother is dead. Betrayal and attraction and history have tangled the strings that bind her, Jack, and Stellan. And now, Avery and her friends must put aside their own problems and focus on putting a stop to the most dangerous conspiracy of all . . .
From London to Russia to Egypt, from the chill of underground crypts to the flash of paparazzi cameras, Avery West will finally have to confront whether her fate means salvation--or destruction.
