Thank you to Penguin Teen for the review copy of this book!
A queer boarding school horror that had me hooked! While horror isn’t my usual genre, this was so enjoyable and will definitely have me reaching for similar books. The Vancouver Island, forest rot vibes paired with an elite boarding school and secret societies was such an interesting premise, and felt eerily atmospheric. There were big themes of obsession and the various ways it can manifest, and I loved the way certain threads ended up connecting as Evie and Holland searched for the truth behind The Afterdark.
Overall a really enjoyable read and I’d consider it a great intro into horror if you’re new to the genre!
