This is a short book brought out for the WBD books. It is therefore a short but very dark story involving the same spirals that feature in the Ghosts of Heaven. I really enjoyed the story, and it would be a great introduction to Sedgewick as well as a short book to give to those pupils who 'don't like reading long books Miss'.

While the writing style was interesting, I found the actual story to be a bit tired; the plot was one you will have seen played out a thousand times in other murder-mystery books, full of vague teenage girl tropes and predictable turns.
It's a shame because the author does a great job of painting 1070s America for an audience that will have no knowledge of it, and it was right on the edge of being either a shocking thriller or a well-developed fantasy, but after reading it once and the ending is revealed there isn't much need to read it again.

I know this was a short book made for WBD but I feel like it just stops. Don’t get me wrong, I like the suspenseful ending but I want to know what happens to Margot and her friends...
