Wander in the Dark by Jumata Emill
Amir Trudeau has a lot of resentment for his half-brother Marcel, but it’s knowing that Chloe Danvers will be at Marcel’s birthday that gets Amir to show up. Chloe is rich and she’s hot and her signals to Amir are confusing from the moment he gets to the party.
Somehow, Chloe convinces Amir to come home with her. Her parents are out of town, so no one would ever know.
And technically, that would be true if Amir hadn’t woken up to find Chloe dead. Now, all signs point to Amir as the murderer, especially because it is suspicious a Black boy like him would be in a rich white girl’s house without a nefarious reason.
Amir has to prove his innocence, and the only way he can do that is to team up with Marcel. Their family situation is messy, but together, they’ll work to uncover the secrets Chloe held. Those will be key to saving Amir from a fate he doesn’t deserve.
