Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - Truly Devious

Ik had best wel hoge verwachtingen van dit boek maar ik weet niet zo goed wat ik hiervan vinden moet. De eerste 200 ish paginas waren best wel boring en ik kwam niet echt lekker in het verhaal en dat laaste had ik tot op het einde nog steeds. Echter werd het op het einde wel wat spannender en leuker, maar vind alles nog steeds een beetje vaag en ik snap dr nie zo veel van. Er zijn nog meer delen en ik wil het eigenlijk wel doorlezen omdat ik weten wil hoe het verdergaat, maar ben niet echt thrilled. So 3/3.

When Stevie Bell is accepted into Ellingham Academy, a school for gifted students, she thinks it's the chance of a lifetime to solve the 'Truly Devious' murders. What she doesn't anticipate is a classmate turning up dead. Was it an accident, or has there been another murder on the property all these years later?

I ate up the setting of this book. Ellingham Academy would have been my dream school at this age and I loved all of the different personalities of the characters. It could be over the top at times, but that's to be expected in a YA book. That was part of the fun, too. It's also the definition of a page-turner. As soon as I got to the end I had to start The Vanishing Stair.

I enjoyed this book reasonably well. It was very slow to pick up and I did manage to predict a good amount of the twists. Nevertheless, I’m excited to see what happens in the rest of the series.
