The Review
The Title/Cover Draw:
- The cover is pretty minimalistic, but also very intriguing. Lately I have been getting into dark academia books so this was interesting to me. I received this as an audiobook from Netgalley.
What I liked:
- The story of the girls, the school, and the mystery element. The story is told in 2 points of view between Scarlett and Vivian.
What I didn’t like:
- Parts of the story got confusing, which I am not sure was because of my work flow while listening, the way it was written, or the narrator.
The Characters:
- I kept getting the 2 main characters mixed up a lot as the story was back and forth between them. I expected Scarlett to be this typical sorority girl, as she is at the beginning. However, her growth is complex.
The Ending:
- Very good ending with a little twist and a setup nicely into book 2. I think the next time though, I will read it instead of listening to it.
Narrator-
- There wasn’t a ton of vocal change between the 2 main characters which is probably why it was hard to tell them apart.
Reminds me of:
- Greek meets the Craft.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Received from Netgalley.
Small Summary:
Kappa Rho Nu isn’t your average sorority. Their parties are notorious. Their fundraisers are known for being Westerly College’s most elaborate affairs. But beneath the veil of Greek life and prestige, the sisters of Kappu Rho Nu share a secret: they’re a coven of witches. For Vivi Deveraux, being one of Kappa Rho Nu’s Ravens means getting a chance to redefine herself. For Scarlett Winters, a bonafide Raven and daughter of a legacy Raven, pledge this year means living up to her mother’s impossible expectations of becoming Kappa Rho Nu’s next president. Scarlett knows she’d be the perfect candidate — that is, if she didn’t have one human-sized skeleton in her closet…. When Vivi and Scarlett are paired as big and little for initiation, they find themselves sinking into the sinister world of blood oaths and betrayals.
