It was the cover that drove me to request this one from Netgalley. Look at it, kinda creepy, mysterious and yet inviting at the same time.
It wasn’t until I was almost finished that I realized this is the first book in series and any misgivings I had about unresolved issues made sense. The author laid the foundation for further book(s) with this layered story revolving around Emmy and the mysterious disappearance of her father. The story was interesting enough with a unique cast of characters, at times reminiscent of Harry Potter, a boarding school with a secret society, hidden passageways and a dark secret.
With a targeted audience of middle grade, I found it to be a fun read that focused on friendship, courage, and determination. I’ll continue with this series though no date yet of the sequel.
My thanks to the publisher (via Netgalley) for an advanced copy in exchange for honest review.
