Academy (Bankston)

Teens are disappearing from The Academy. One Saturday night, Sheila LaRoche doesn't come home. Everyone says the world-famous musician is overseas. Casey doesn't believe it. Her dorm mate was helping her prep for a big audition. She wouldn't have just ghosted her. Plus, Casey found her passport. How'd she travel without it? More troubling, who was the boy lingering outside their dorm, comfortable in a t-shirt despite the November chill? Casey soon digs up more secrets buried at The Academy. The first teen who disappeared is identical to the boy she saw. Except, he went missing twenty years ago. Ten years ago, an Academy student was murdered. She looked just like the girl Casey saw playing a cello inside an empty classroom. Casey discovers there's more than one way to be ghosted... The first in a series set at The Northeast Kingdom Academy, Lost Girls is filled with building tension and escalating horror. The elite music school exists in a giant dead zone, a corner of Vermont with little cell or internet service. At The Academy isolation is part of the curriculum.

Is The Academy's headmaster a killer? Will Casey be his next victim? The mystery deepens in Jacob's Body, Book Two of The Academy Series. The Northeast Kingdom Academy of Music & Art was built on a farmer's field. Today it's world famous, with graduates scoring movies and performing in symphonies. The farmer's son was one of the first students. Then Jacob disappeared and his father died. As Casey searches for Jacob's body, she discovers a map her missing dorm mate Sheila left behind. It could be a clue. It could also be why she was taken. Each new discovery brings new dangers even as Casey is haunted by ghosts-of Jacob, of his father, of other missing girls. She enlists Sheila's friends-Darlene, a powerlifting artist and Emily, a fashion-forward pianist. But, they might not be enough to stop a stalking killer. The second book in a series set at The Northeast Kingdom Academy, Jacob's Body is a story of haunted basements and empty graves, tempered by the passionate romance of Casey and her star musician boyfriend.

When you're buried alive, who do you talk to? On the trail of a killer, Casey could be his next victim. In this thrilling conclusion to The Academy series, Casey must escape a killer's clutches. Time is running out. Casey must escape, find her kidnapper, and rescue her missing dorm mate. Sheila could be killed while Casey tries for a second shot at a first-rate school. The third book in a series set at The Northeast Kingdom Academy, Amber Alert is a story where nothing is as it seems and there may be more than one murderer among the faculty.
