A strange boarding school, a secret society, and an unusual artifact. This has all of kids of great things that I love. In many ways it is what you expect, but Emmy and her friends are fun to get to know.
There were a couple things that were different. I liked that Emmy's mom was a professional parent, so Emmy had pressure to be prefect. The ultimate bad guy was a surprise and the reason why Emmy fell for it makes a lot of sense. I appreciated seeing why she might act the way she did.
I am a little confused about what the adults knew. Maybe that will clarify when I read the next one. It is what you expect it to be as far as the plot goes. The characters are fairly memorable. And I will read the next one to see how it ends.
I loved this! A very entertaining story, an intriguing mystery, a creepy society, and amazing friendships. I enjoyed the dark academia vibes a lot. The plot was a little predictable but I had fun reading it anyway.
Got to properly feed my nostalgia with a boarding school book set in Norfolk. I also loved how fast-paced it was. God, now I really want to turn back time to when I lived in Norfolk and went to school there.
