It took me a very long time finishing this book since I stopped midway because of work stress and the fact that I didn't feel for the characters. I had a hard time reading it in german because of the not quiet fitting youth language used in here. I also didn't really liked the use of the third person view which made it even harder to understand Allies actions. Overall the premise of the book is perfect and a great mystery book for young age, but I seem to be a little bit to old with my age over 20 because the writing style, language and the - in my eyes - missing tension.

I will not continue to read the rest of the series.

Night School – Genesis by C. J. Daugherty is a wonderful young adult book. I am not a teenager (I am in my 40’s), but I love this book. It is one of the best books I have read this year. Allie Sheridan has been causing trouble for her parents since her brother, Christopher, disappeared. After being arrested three times her parents decide to send her away to school. They send her to the Cimmeria Academy. The Cimmeria Academy is unique and has The Rules (and uniforms). They also do not allow televisions, iPods, computers, and definitely no cell phones. Allie is entering in the middle of the summer term and the school work load is heavy. The students at Cimmeria are almost all from elite and rich families (which Allie’s parents are not). Allie also begins to notice unusual things happening at the school. It is an action packed book. I could not put it down. I read it within hours of receiving it. If you love C.L. Stone’s (Ghost Bird and The Academy) series, you will enjoy reading Night School – Genesis!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of the book.

Ich liebe dieses Buch so unglaublich sehr!! Die perfekte Mischung aus Action, Mystery, Romantik und so viel mehr! Ist schon das dritte mal oder so, dass ich diese Reihe lese, aber ich tue es immer wieder gern.
