This is the first book in a new series, The Ruin of Serpents, and it is one that will suck you in from the beginning. Talia has had a life fraught with tragedy and making matters worse, her father sends her away, her senior year, to a new boarding school where the cliques are established, and she’ll need to maneuver around a minefield with these mean girls. Adding insult to injury, the school is run by a group of boys who have a myriad of feelings toward the “new girl,” some are more aggressive than others. Not one to be taken advantage of, Talia develops a strong constitution and it progresses throughout the storyline. There are so many secrets and questions that will keep any reader on the edge of his/her seat. Like other works by the author, you think you know what will happen and then welcome to the 360-degree turn. This book is left in a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to see how this mystery plays out in the next book. If you are a reader of dark, contemporary romance than this is for you. Please read the trigger warnings.
