Magni animi numquam moriuntur. Great minds never die. A girl who is an outsider finds herself joining an exclusive society but begins seeing the ghost and feels herself losing time while being possessed by someone, the question is who. Tara goes to Corbin College, and dreams about being accepted into the elite academic society, Magni Viri and get a chance to experience free tuition, inspirational professors and the dream job when she graduates. When she finds the dead body of a girl who was part of the Magni Viri society, a girl that she envied and wish she could be, the last thing she expects is to be invited into the society to replace said girl. Yet once she is there her writing is suddenly better and she feels as if she's losing herself, literally, as she begins losing time and her writing is no longer her own and that someone is possessing her while she feels like she is being haunted by the dead girl she replaced. Can she figure out what is happening in this secret society before it's too late? This book was driving me crazy because I recognized the plot and couldn't place it and then realized it was literally Down A Dark Hall by Lois Duncan (and there was a film version too). Unfortunately this one missed the mark for me, it had a nice dark academia/gothic mystery with a sapphic romance in it too however it just felt kind of lacking and since I already knew where the plot was going I wasn't exactly surprised. The story felt kind of slow and I was hoping for something more but that's just me. I feel like if I didn't already know Down a Dark Hall, I would have enjoyed this more. If you enjoy dark academia/gothic mysteries with a bit of a haunting and a tiny bit of romance give this a go!
