I read the first one last year and wasn’t sure if I liked it very much or not, but did find it compelling and found it an interesting concept.

When they’re in detention, one of the group, a hated webmaster and content creator of a gossip website that all the other members of the detention have been involved with before and they all have their little secrets to be protected. Well he dies when he drinks a peanut oil […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
