Set at a centuries old boarding school with a history supposedly twined with magic, A Lesson in Vengeance is suffused with darkness centered around a girl trying to distance herself from the past that makes this a read that's hard to put down. Felicity returns to the Dalloway School after time spent away following the disappearance and presumed death of her best friend - and secret girlfriend - Alex. Believing magic and the twisted history of five murdered witches who attended the school were involved, Felicity is intent on leaving all things connecting her to magic behind. Then enters Ellis. Ellis is impossibly cool and captures Felicity's attention from the moment they meet. The only problem being Ellis wants Felicity's help in researching the history of the Dalloway Five, the murdered witches. Knowing she shouldn't put herself back into that world, Felicity can't say no. Soon she is once again thrust into a series of events filled with deceit and blood leaving her unsure who she can trust or if she'll ever be safe again.
