The Gothic novel is not dead, as proven by this simply delicious page-turner penned by the fabulous Libba Bray. All the elements are here: a tortured heroine named Gemma who witnesses her mother’s horrific murder, a gloomy old boarding school with a dark supernatural secret at it’s core, and three witchy classmates who become the catalyst for Gemma’s discovery of a ghostly, ghastly power that could destroy them all!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Sorry, couldn’t help giving a deep, hand-wringing villainous burst of laughter) You’ll want to read this one in bed, with a box of chocolates and all the lights on.
