This was so good omg !!!!
I think the thing I love the most about this series has to be the ambiance. I absolutely adore the boarding school, cold setting the story takes place in, and, of course, the way it keeps you hooked to the story.

I loved the mystery in this and I can't wait to see the conclusion next year!

How am I supposed to continue after an ending like that??? The biggest of cliffhangers let me tell you. I thought book one started off so well and I loved that this came in with an even bigger bang. The mystery was heightened and I was on the edge of my seat trying to piece together the clues with Stevie. I also think the character development was great in this book. Stevie is finding herself more at Ellingham and I love her journey so far. I enjoyed how her friends played more of a role in solving the crime and everything. Larry and Stevie's friendship was so wholesome! I'm so invested now and I think this a great series to dive into. Seriously cannot wait to get into book three!
