A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
4.0
This book is well-reviewed, so I will let you read the blurb to find out what you’re getting into while reading this. I read this at night when I would crawl into bed, not yet tired but eager to get in some reading that wasn’t an ARC. Lee had me at boarding school, but then you add in the history of witches and an inclusive cast, and I knew I was going to enjoy reading it.
I sometimes questioned if I liked Felicity as a character because she is incredibly unstable. You are kept unsure as to if you can trust what she’s saying and thinking. But enter Ellis, and despite all the fangirling from the other girls in the house, she gave off a big warning sign. Putting her together with Felicity is brilliant. Add in the incredibly vivid setting, making this highly atmospheric, and you’ve got an impressive combination for a book that begs the reader to keep reading well after the lights are out.
