A Deadly Education

This was probably one of the best books I read of 2020. It reminded me of Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson. The story follows Elle, an outsider who has had to work hard for everything in life, through her “high school” academic years. Sounds potentially problematic, right? What with the social anxiety, no friends, bullies, etc..... well add in trying not to die. That's right, in this ‘Hogwarts' the castle school is literally trying to kill you so it can have energy to function. Not everyone who starts makes it out.

The plot in this book was absolutely outstanding. Everything about it was unique, so well thought through and thoroughly original. I hung on every word (I listened via audiobook), and was totally mesmerized by the ongoing twists and turns. The author painted such a vivid portrait with every scene and there was just so much to digest. I am SOOOO happy this is planned to be a trilogy!! I can hardly wait. If anyone is debating, PLEASE READ it was one of the best books I've ever read. And that is saying a lot, because ya girl HATES YA!!
