Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

As Libby investigates her family's death to exonerate her own guilt, she unravels some unbelievable reveals.
Best intentions go horribly wrong.
Dreams and plans are misinterpreted.
Greed and fear create lies.
Actions do have consequences and when all these things conspire willing and unknowingly, it creates an amalgam of events that ends up in tragedy. A tragedy that doesn't really get justice because when it's all said and done, there's no bringing back the dead.
This was not an easy read.
This does not contain a happy ending nor a satisfying conclusion.
This was something that was hard to get through but admittedly, was compelling nonetheless.

This is sorta like high school/college Sterek, which I admit I have an affinity for. This being an X-Men-like AU didn't hurt either.
Deaton runs a school for the gifted. Each student is chosen early before their power fully manifests and they are trained to utilize it well, whether or not they ultimately go on to join a "specials" task force. The whole gang is talented except Stiles - his ability has yet to make an appearance.
So you have broody Derek who has trust issues and Stiles who's keeping secrets. Forced to work together on an assignment, they form a tentative friendship.
A crisis arises, everyone is kick ass awesome, and of course Stiles gets his guy. We wouldn't want it any other way :)
