Okay so, I needed some time to get hang of this story. I really didn't understand what is going on until the first 20% of the book. Everything felt broken and in pieces. But once I got the grip of the story, I couldn't let go. Talia seems to be the lead in this story, going through a personal loss and transfers to a new place, new school for a new beginning.
She is really a fierce and strong character.
I couldn't understand where the 'dark' part starts in this book. It just felt like a regular student's life who is being bullied and called out for being a new transferred student but then it hit.
The story slowly unfolds itself revealing its dark parts as we move forward and ends at a cliffhanger.
I hate cliffhangers and thankfully there would be a next part.
I am really really excited to read what is going to happen next in this story and what secrets is Arbour hiding.

Talia is an amazing, fierce and very confident character in this book. She is going through a rough patch of her life by losing the only person who loves her, her brother.
She moves to a new place, new school and once she starts to settle in, she notices that things are going a little weird in the place.
She has an amazing roommate who helps her get comfortable with the surroundings and introduces to a new set of friends who are 'good people'.
Will she survive this school of hers of get herself in the spirals of danger wreaking havoc in her new school?

Worth all the confusions I face when I started this book.
