In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead
5.0
dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The Secret History will always be my number one dark academia book, but hello In My Dreams I Hold a Knife. Welcome to the number 2 spot.

Why I loved it:

- A dark academia book with red herrings that I didn’t hate? 

- Rich kid/college friend group with a lot of secrets 

- A love triangle I could get behind 

- A tied up ending
