I'm not looking forward to going back to uni, but I do LOVE this list idea!! I'd like to recommend In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead!
ahhh i haven't read this one yet đđđ adding to list and tbr lol
the premise is similar to The Midnight club; it's another book where the friend group is invited to the school reunion and has to confront what happened in the past (the unsolved murder of a friend) while someone is out to get them and reveal the truth. I really loved it, so I hope you will as well!!
it sounds PERFECT đ (for this list and also just in general hahaha i already grabbed a copy off Libby!)
Yayyy!! I'm looking forward to seeing your updatesđ
I have some for you!
The main character of The Incandescent is the head of the school where she's an alumni. I Have Some Questions For You is about a podcaster who goes back to her old boarding school to solve an old mystery. Society of Lies is about someone trying to solve her sister's murder at her old alma mater a decade after she graduated.
excellent, excellent!!
Oooh, excellent list concept! Can't think of anything off the top of my head to add, but I'll be back if I do đ«Ą
very good! i know it's kind of a specific plot type but listening through The Belles i realized there were a good handful of books I've read recently that fit, and that i REALLY loved all of them.... so basically it's all a ploy to get people to recommend more books that i will probably also love đ€đ
