Okay, the list of content warnings makes this look horrific. And it is, in a way. It's a book about terrible people doing terrible things. But they get what's coming to them. It's worth it, promise 🧡

Slow start, but an exciting end with lots of twists and turns. 
About a girl who is hired by Yale to monitor the secret societies.  She is forced to face some of her past ‘demons’ when a suspicious murder occurs near campus.  Without the help of her mentor, she must determine if the murder was related to magic and the secret societies.
