Liam Davis is a serious journalist, and
he’s good at it.
Or at least, he was. Until the chief of
Scribe, the campus magazine, makes him give up his politics column to write for
the party page —the party page that is problematic for two reasons: One, it
threatens Liam’s chance of getting the traineeship with his apathetic father at
his prestigious newspaper company, and two, he has no idea what it means to
party, let alone how to capture this new audience’s attention!
But Liam Davis is no quitter. He’s
determined to prove to his father, the chief, and above all himself that he can
do it—and do it well.
Life doesn’t make it easy. Not when Freddy
Krueger comes stalking out of the shadows to attack him. Luckily the Raven, the
campus vigilante—the vigilante getting hate mail sent to Scribe’s opinions
page—comes to his rescue.
Now, between finding the perfect angle for
his party page columns and making friends (and perhaps something more?), Liam
needs to find this mysterious Raven — not only to thank him, but to warn him to
watch his back.
Excerpt
It was time to execute my plan of sneaking
into Dylan’s room.
I waited until people started to get
inebriated. Then I waved a piece of paper and asked students where his room was
so I could tack the note to his door.
In fact, what I intended to do was hide out
in the hall until the guy crashing in there returned. I’d hook him into
conversation and push my way into his room to check out the walls, where the
picture of The Raven hung.
A drunk guy with flushed cheeks and a
goatee led me all the way to Dylan’s room, on the second floor above the
cafeteria-ballroom. Jazz vibrated faintly underfoot as Drunk Guy used his
keycard to let us both in.
“His room is just down there—” He unleashed
a beer-flavored belch, and I gulped for fresher air at my side, which wasn’t
that much fresher—there was a distinct smell of sweaty guy and stale beer in
this dorm.
“Thank you,” I said, giving him a quick nod
and moving over the thinning navy carpet toward the door he’d pointed at. From
here, it seemed to be partially open; light spilled in a wedge into the dim
hall.
Brilliant. The plan worked.
“Sure,” Drunk Guy said, and shuffled off in
the opposite direction with another large belch.
Slowing my step, I calculated my next move.
Seemed the guy crashing in there was already here. Now all I had to do was make
some conversation while slyly scanning the walls.
Simple enough.
I hoped.
Voices trilled down the hall, followed by
laughter and doors opening and shutting. Footsteps followed me to Dylan’s door.
I moved to the side to let the guy pass, but he didn’t. I blinked at the
scuffed black shoes as they moved to my side, and—
“Gah!” I startled, lurching into Dylan’s
door and swinging it open.
“Liam,” Quinn said, grabbing my arm tightly
to stop me from toppling into the room. He pulled me back to a standing
position as the door thumped against the wall, revealing an unoccupied room.
Maybe the guy had just gone to the bathroom?
“What are you doing here?” I asked, torn
between the need to grab my pen and the need to investigate The Raven so I
could leave before the guy returned from his toilet trip.
Quinn frowned at my hurried words and
guilt-ridden tone. “Maybe I should ask what you are doing here?”

I love how this so wonderfully captures the tone of the book and its
setting.
