Summary

A young woman joins an elite college sorority only to be ushered into a world of manipulation, betrayal, and deadly secrets in a twisty psychological thriller so razor sharp it draws blood.

Slipping through the cracks of the foster system, Allison Johnston never had a family—until Harper, her foster sister. Allison follows her to Virginia’s most prestigious campus, where elite sorority Zeta Beta Kappa gives her everything she’s never had: sisterhood, recognition, and belonging.

The university is three stories of immaculate ivy-draped perfection, where legacy reigns and the rules are sacrosanct. Allison is game. Until one of her sisters becomes the center of a house scandal and disappears.

As the edges of the pristine facade begin to fray, and she crosses dangerous romantic boundaries with the golden boy of Greek Row, Allison realizes the life she’s always wanted might be one to fear. Soon she uncovers a web of lies and twisted loyalties, where the most vicious monsters wear pearls and dazzling smiles, forcing her to stay silent to protect this intoxicating new world…or expose the truth and risk becoming its next buried secret.

Critic Reviews

“Secrets, lies, and corruption come to a simmering boil in The Initiation Game. This fearless debut does more than expose the dark underbelly of campus life and a culture that protects its golden boys at all costs…it utterly eviscerates. This is a primal scream of a novel, establishing Viviana Vasiu as a powerhouse talent to watch.” —Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, USA Today bestselling author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here

“Chilling, bingeable, and so incredibly timely, The Initiation Game draws the reader into the intoxicating world of Greek life and then expertly exposes the ugliness beneath—secrets, cutthroat competition, and the ruthless pull of power.” —Olivia Worley, author of So Happy Together and Man of My Dreams

“Twisty, toxic, and deliciously dark, The Initiation Game is Gossip Girl by way of Greek Row, with more blood on its pearls. Vasiu takes the gleeful cruelty of mean girls, drops it in an ivy-draped sorority house, and sharpens it into a deadly point. Fans of Tell Me Lies, this is your new obsession.” —Lindsay Cameron, author of Just One Look and No One Needs to Know
