Book Review

love, love, love it! I was actually sad when the book ended. It was like losing a friend

I am addicted, this book is so captivating and lets you be another student at Hallward School. As you develop your own perspectives and opinions about people. It has made me gasp and sit up straight with my hair prickling.

The front cover is very enticing and gives off a sort of mystery genre with lots of details to look at that relate to the book. Also, the chapter layouts are a very nice range of lengths. I

If you are looking for a longer story with more description and suspense then this is the book for you. It has such a good plotline and build up of tension.

I love, love, love it! I was actually sad when the book ended. It was like losing a friend :(

Thank you Jenni Howell. I will be looking out for more of your books.

About the Book

Nightmares, narcissists and narrow-minded rich kids.

That’s all Hallward School is to Marin James, an undercover transfer student from a small, unknown village. She sets out on her own tragic mission, at first finding it hard to blend in with the high life but soon enough she forcefully accepts it. Lessons are tough and lying is harder than it seems. The same word flies like a sandstorm around her head disrupting her thoughts and fogging her brain. ‘This is for Sam‘.

But the more she hears lies straight from mouths of, “friends” her opinions shift and sends tornadoes of questions and destruction through her mind, playing games and tricks on her sanity
Sam was her best friend, family, cousin but more of a brother, they had spent their childhood together from birth… to death.

Except, the day Sam died Marin James was not there for him, in turn she had set out for revenge to make the people hurt as much as Sam did when he was murdered-when he lay drowning, lifeless, cold. Ice cold…
