Richard Papen had never been to New England before his 19th year. Then he arrived at Hampeden College and quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus life—in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance, highly unapproachable. Yet as Richard was accepted and drawn into their inner circle, he learned a terrifying secret that bound them to one another...a secret about an incident in the woods in the dead of night where an ancient rite was brough to brutal life...and lead to a gruesome death.

Dorothea Truelove is young, wealthy, and beautiful. Ruth Butterham is young, poor, and awaiting trial for murder. When Dorothea's charitable work brings her to Oakgate Prison, she is delighted by the chance to explore her fascination with phrenology and test her hypothesis that the shape of a person's skull can cast a light on their darkest crimes. But when she meets one of the prisoners, the teenaged seamstress Ruth, she is faced with another strange idea.

Shocked how much I enjoyed this book!
Revisado: 10-13-21
This book was really outside the realm of books I usually read but I do love Jane Eyre and Rebecca so I figured I'd give it a shot. It was thoroughly fascinating and the many twists and turns were never expected! I have to say the ending left some questions unanswered but it was truly a great twist!

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students?

Not original at all
Revisado: 09-08-21
I was really excited for this as I heard great reviews but quickly realized it was the same as EVERY TEEN FANTASY STORY EVER. When your main character's ONLY personality trate is "stubborn", that's not a well written character. The world she created was good and a few intriging plot twists but it was so hard to finish due to lack of character development.

Revisado: 09-08-21
I was so determined to love this book as I love studying the Great Hunger, however the lack of depth any of the characters had made it so hard to get through. The plot was some what intriguing but there really was nothing super interesting about this book besides when/where it takes place.

If you love reading the Illiad, The Aenied, or other ancient stories, you will fall in love with this title. She does "apologize" for not being able to fit Dido in, hopefully we'll get another one from her soon. 10/10 recommend.
