A mystery in a quirky boarding school in the middle of the woods? Sign me UP. Truly Devious was a really fun mystery that had me hooked and kept me guessing until the cliffhanger of an ending. I never know if YA mysteries are going to blow me away or leave me super underwhelmed with extreme improbability. I’m happy to report that Truly Devious was perfectly balanced with believable crime solving. I love the format of past and present storylines - they’re done in a way that’s easy to follow yet drives the story along.
I immediately grabbed book 2 and 3 after finishing so I could continue the mystery. I definitely would recommend this to mystery fans!
