I’m genuinely really interested to see where the rest of the story goes (if and when it’s published). Unique blend of fantasy and mystery and romance concepts, and although the romance was a bit basic it wasn’t unenjoyable. “If I could give you anything in this life, it would be the happiness you feel when you look at the stars”- gorgeous. I’m a sucker for Greek mythology retelling and although this one isn’t super close to the original tale, I liked it.

This was SO GOOD. The best thing I've read by her so far. I can't wait to read the next one and I'm supremely bitter that it's not out yet.

When Anora is uprooted from New York to Oklahoma to escape a dangerous secret, she hopes to find a fresh start at Nacoma Knights Academy. Instead, she finds ghosts of suicide victims, online bullying through an anonymous app, and more secrets that threaten to overwhelm her and the new friends she tries desperately to fit in with. Past lives, trapped souls and forbidden love flavor this YA novel from best selling author Scarlett St. Clair, and while it lacks the language and content of her adult novels, it will still keep you flipping through chapters to find out more about the mythos of this dark world!
