trigger warning

I do not believe this book, or possibly app, did enough to outline potential trigger warnings. I was not mentally prepared to listen to all the fuck*d up things that happened, and it was incredibly triggering for me. so readers be warned, this book contains:

-self harm
-rape
-sexual assault
-suicide
- intense to extreme bullying
- elludes to child pornography
- graphic descriptions of trauma.

please consider this before reading.

Suspenseful, Dark, Academia

Rose

Marta

Sammy

And

Lloyd

All scholarship students at the prestigious Higher Realms .

What initially presents itself as a wonderful opportunity for them all, soon turns dark as one of them, the gifted Marta, is singled out for some of the worst kind bullying.

As tragedy occurs, it provides a catalyst for unraveling secrets, not just from the beaten down Marta but from the others as they struggle to protect their new fragile friend from her unusual family situation, the school, and the law.

Interesting debut novel from Ellie Keel.
To he honest, the relationships parings all took me by surprise.

Definitely didn’t go where most books would have gone

I was beginning to think that Rose and Max were going to be the main romantic leads but, this didn’t turn out to be the case

But that’s a good thing.

Very atmospheric, and suspenseful

Interesting to see what comes next from this author
