__________________
Galaxy 'Alex' Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime, Alex was hoping for a fresh start. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.
Alex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - well-known haunts of the rich and powerful. Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.
Because Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And sometimes they prey on the living . . .

I've really enjoyed this authors books before but found this title to be disappointing. There was little character development and just over all wasn't a huge page turner for me. I've never read the first book in a series and not immediately bought the second so I'm quite surprised. My best friend really enjoyed it but I just couldn't get into it.

I've read six of crows, crooked kingdom, king of scars and that magical story series she had last year. I love her writing. I have faith that I'll love this book like any other book I've read from here. :D
