I did not expect to like this as much as I did. I also didn't expect it to get as dark as it did. I loved large chunks of the build-up, the creepy feel of the school and the secret societies and just the sheer horror of the premise, once it started becoming clear. This is not strictly a horror ...
I've had this book on my shelf for a few years now, and never quite got around to reading it. Picked up cause it probably sounded good.

Some parts I liked, some I found OK, some were a little dumb in my opinion.I must say I really liked the atmosphere in this novel: the boarding school and its odd ...
