Something Dangerous

Rokeby is everything Jonathan is not: wealthy, strong, handsome, aloof -- even the professors can't touch him. With Rokeby as his protector, for the first time since arriving at school, Jonathan feels safe.As the bond between the two boys deepens, Rokeby grows increasingly possessive, isolating Jonathan from the other boys. Soon, Jonathan comes to realize that there is something not quite right about his new friend. Something a bit off-kilter. Something slightly unnatural. Something...dangerous.What started out as an innocent game among schoolboys turns into a nightmare as Jonathan finds himself powerless to stop Richard from unleashing a diabolical force that threatens to consume them all.
