The Headmaster's List by Melissa de la Cruz
4.0
I’ve been on a mystery kick so this book showed up at the perfect time for me to devour it, thanks fierce reads hahah! Starting off by saying, I ADORED Ripley. What can I say? I’m an animal lover to the max, so she won my heart pretty quickly and I prayed the entire read that nothing happened to her.
The Headmaster’s list is definitely for fans of One of us is Lying and A Good Girls Guide to Murder. It takes place at a school in LA for the elite and privileged, and if you make it on the headmaster’s list.. you’re bound for the ivies for sure. Obviously it’s a very competitive setting however, I don’t feel like it was 100% focused on that. The focus was more on the mystery and pretty much the downward spiral of our girl, Spencer.
I felt like I knew some of the key twists very early on but Melissa de la Cruz still had some tricks up her sleeves that were saved for the very end. I quite literally had the hardest time putting this down because I NEEDED to know what truly happened.
Overall, the story unravels well and it’s gripping from start to end. It also does a good job of showing PTSD and anxiety rep in our MC.
