Pretty Wanted

Willa Fox promised to turn herself in.

But you can't take a thief at her word. . . .

Willa's string of good-hearted but ill-conceived thefts at her former high school Valley Prep catapulted her into a life she hardly knows. She became a cult hero, but soon afterward her mom disappeared, leaving only a cryptic message. When Willa hit the California highway to find her, she discovered a dark family secret: Joanne Fox is not who she says she is-and neither is Willa.

Willa's string of good-hearted but ill-conceived thefts at her former high school Valley Prep catapulted her into a life she hardly knows. She became a cult hero, but soon afterward her mom disappeared, leaving only a cryptic message. When Willa hit the California highway to find her, she discovered a dark family secret: Joanne Fox is not who she says she is-and neither is Willa.

Now Willa and fellow troublemaker Aidan must race to St. Louis, Missouri, Willa's birthplace. There, they hope to find answers about Willa's past. But uncovering the truth requires solving a decades-old murder case.

Unfortunately, the perps are still out there . . . and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the case cold. With Willa's face on the nightly news and the police hot on her trail, it might not matter that Tre and Aidan are there to help. Willa's only hope is to find the truth before it finds her first.

Pretty Wanted is Elisa Ludwig's rollicking finale to the Pretty Crooked trilogy, a series filled with moxie, romance, and heart.
