For a twentysomething, there is no summer job better than being a seasonaire. No responsibilities, college is barely a thought, and you're surrounded by glamorous, beautiful people. Intoxicating and seemingly carefree, what could possibly go wrong?

An idyllic Nantucket summer begins like a dream for scrappy Mia from South Boston; Presley, a gorgeous Southern beauty queen; Cole, a handsome introvert; Jade, the sultry daughter of a model and music mogul; J. P., an energetic young designer; and Grant, a playful party-boy.

These six are working as seasonaires―influential brand ambassadors―for the clothing line Lyndon Wyld. But like all things that look too good to be true, the darkness lurking underneath slowly rises to the surface.

Lyndon Wyld, the chic tigress who owns the eponymous business, rules their daily life by curating their every move, which the seasonaires are obligated to post on social media for their growing throngs of followers. Corporate greed, professional rivalries, and personal conflicts mix with sex, drugs, and the naiveté of youth, exploding in a murder that sullies their catalog-perfect lives.

The Seasonaires is a fresh and stylish debut that perfectly captures today's zeitgeist, promising to thrill until the very last page.

      An idyllic summer on Nantucket is shattered by murder in King’s fiery debut. Every year Lyndon Wyld sends a small group of brand ambassadors, her “seasonaires,” to Nantucket to represent her namesake clothing brand via social media and personal appearances. When aspiring fashion designer Mia is chosen, she’s thrilled, and the $20,000 she’ll earn is a huge perk. Sharing a house with Mia are Jade, a rap mogul’s daughter; blonde bombshell Presley; shy Cole; fun-loving Grant; and the gregarious J.P. When Mia befriends the troubled Ruby, a model for rival company Wear National, the veneer of their golden summer begins to crumble, revealing a toxic mélange of drugs, vicious corporate rivalry, and illicit hookups. When one of their group is killed, Mia realizes that no one is truly what they seem. The seasonaires’ scandalous shenanigans have a tabloid appeal, and King slips in some commentary on consumer culture and those who live their lives on social media. The introspective Mia provides a good foil for the rowdier seasonaires, and while the identity of the killer may not come as a surprise, readers will be having too much fun to mind.

      The perfect mix of drama and intrigue is a must-listen for the summer. King's novel offers listeners a new perspective of summer on Nantucket, told through the eyes of six beautiful, young "seasonaires"--brand ambassadors for the clothing line Lyndon Wyld. Narrator Brittany Pressley seamlessly transitions between the six diverse seasonaires and a host of supporting characters as they continuously document their work and their personal lives on social media. As corporate rivalries, jealousy, drugs, and secret relationships simmer just below the surface, an act of violence occurs, and the seasonaires must decide who they are, whom they should trust, and who they ultimately want to be.
