More like 2.5, but I felt nice and rounded up the stars. I think this story has potential. The foreboding feeling is consistent throughout, but it never hits the mark. I also think the premise was very interesting, it just wasn't executed fully. I also found the heroine slightly annoying.

DNF @ 43%. This was a very slow story. So...so...SO slow. I’m almost halfway through and I have learned nothing and I can’t help but think the rest of the series will be more of the same. I just can’t get into this one.
Pros though is that it is well written from a grammatical standpoint. So there’s that.

I didn’t know what was happening. I was so confused and that’s why I stopped reading it.

Book 35 towards my goal of 240! 5/5 stars for this mysterious school setting read! Loved the cover! Loved the dual narration. Great for fans of A Deadly Education! I definitely didn't see the twist coming! Highly recommend!

Another great novel from Eva Chase!
In this book, Trix is searching for her brother, Cade, at the school he'd received a scholarship from. Everyone outside the school doesn't remember him, and everyone at the school is not forthcoming at all in helping her fulfill her quest.
I loved how I felt super invested in the story. The school itself was a very intriguing idea, and I loved how each individual student had their own punishments, even if the reader wasn't sure what it was.
My only real problem was that I didn't feel the need for Trix to have a love interest, let alone three potential ones. I felt like those moments kind of took away from the story, no matter how well written they were.
Suffice it to say, I cannot wait for the next one!
