A Lesson in Vengeance
by Victoria Lee
I have sooo many questions about this book, what happened, and the ending!
First let us start with some Content Warnings: Death, Violence, Manipulation and emotional abuse, Child neglect (past/offscreen), Mental health issues, Substance abuse, Suicide references (no actual suicide), References to racist history at a PWI. Victoria goes into more detail about each of these on her website (http://victorialeewrites.com/a-lesson-in-vengeance-content-warnings/).
This book is YA Dark Academia. Now this is my first dark academia book so I have no prior knowledge of the genre. I really enjoyed this book. Now I'm not sure the genre is for me, I found myself a little anxious not knowing if there would be a HEA or what could happen to the characters.
I could not put this book down. I just had to get to the ending. This is told from the POV of Felicity, who is returning to school after taking a semester off. She is really struggling with her mental health. She is an unreliable narrator and I'm still questioning if some parts of the book really happened how she thinks they did.
The twists in this book were incredible, I did not see them coming and when I thought I knew something, I did not. I was contently guessing! I found this book very enjoyable and I will have to check out some more dark academia to see how I feel about the genre as a whole.
