Mourning the sudden death of her sister, Andy Emmerson knows she must come to terms with a life without Violet. But on the day of the funeral Andy is shocked to discover one thing: the person in that casket is not her sister. Violet is alive.

Convinced her sister's elite boarding school is covering up the truth, Andy enrols at Ravenswood Academy to discover what really happened and find Violet. The school is as beautiful and haunting as the students within it and Andy learns that it's not just good grades that drives these pupils. Something much darker is at play.

After discovering a cryptic note from her sister, Andy must follow a set of clues to unlock the truth. This will bring her into contact with secret societies, ancient magic, demons and monsters. And a charming senior named Jae Han who has his own reasons for finding out what happened to Violet . . .
Soon Andy realizes the price she must pay to bring her sister home is darker and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
 

Miniature Review

 
As soon as I saw this book on NetGalley I knew I had to request it the blurb had me hooked and I needed to know what was going to happen. This book didn’t disappoint, and I was I was completely hooked from the very beginning.
 
This is a deliciously dark tale as the writing in this book is beautiful. The way Catelyn world builds is fully immersive without being too overly descriptive and information dumpy. In this book Catelyn takes us on a roller coaster ride full of twists and turns and emotional turmoil. I didn't expect any of the twists which made it so exciting, and they caught me off guard.
 
 The characters were diverse, and Catelyn made it so easy for me to love and feel empathy for everyone including the side characters. Catelyn’s brilliant cast that aren’t just lovable but also hateable which always make a book so much more fun to read. It is evident that Catelyn has done a lot of research into gods, demons, monsters, and magic for this book.

 
Without giving away much I think the ending was left slightly open, which I’m hoping means we might get a second book, but I might just be greedy and want more.
