An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson
5.0
I love dark academis reads and I really need to research whats out there because I’m sure there are so many that I havent read that I would love.
A hidden school in Savannah was an immediate yes from me. Having visited Savannah I knew this book had the potential to be creepy and dark. Walking around Savannah at night gives that feeling exactly.
This book is such a mixture of everything I love in a great read. There’s secrets, lies, betrayals, not to mention a teacher/student forbidden love that goes sideways.
Fmc, Lennon, 22, finds herself accepted to Drayton College, a mysterious school that she didn’t apply to located in the 25th Square in Savannah (Savannah only has 24 Squares). When she arrives she meets her advisor, Dante, a 30 something, sexy, tattoo covered professor who Lennon is very much drawn to.
Lennon discovers her powers of persuasion and learns how to manipulate it through controling her mind. Everyone in the school has the ability to weild their power like a weapon so no one can be trusted. During Lennons time at Drayton she learns of its dark past and what is lurking around the corner for it’s future and how she and her advisor Dante are stuck in the tanged web of saving Drayton from being exposed.
If you crave secret socities, dark and gothic atmospheres and enjoy reading about the things people will do for power then add this one to your tbr!
Thank you @netgalley and @berkleypub for my eARC!
