Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan UK Audio for an audio ARC of this book.

This is my first ARC review so i am not sure how much or how little i should say about this book .

I think it's better to write a review when the book is published,  but strust me guys , it is really good

3.5

This is the first book where i feel that it deserves a strong 3.5 stars.

I was good but the beginning was soooo slooowww .  

I was so confused most of the time. All the secrets and the weird cuts , I was very confused . And I still don't understand what they were supposed to do at the school,  like what are they learning ? Only Latin ? It was supposed to be a dark academia, but it was only dark , no academia at all.  
I understood the cult part , but what about the other kids at the school? If they didn't want to take part in the cult , what were they supposed to get out of going there ? Learning Latin and going to hell ? Just because??

Take a shot every time : 
1. Someone says her full name  : Delaney Meyers-Petrov . ( I bought the ebook just so I can look how many times someone says her full name , and if I am not mistaken,  it's like almost 40 times ... 40 TIMES IN 387 PAGES ... Helllooo????? ) 
2. Someone is keeping secrets and talks in riddles 
3. There is a scene, and it suddenly cuts , like it jumps to something else, and you are confused af
4. You are confused :)
