Secret Lives (Darke Academy #1)
by Gabriella Poole
What is it about:
You'll be dying to join the chosen Few...
The Darke Academy is a school like no other. An elite establishment that moves to an exotic new city every term, its students are impossibly beautiful, sophisticated and rich. And the more new scholarship girl Cassie Bell learns about the Academy, the more curious she becomes.
What sinister secrets are guarded by the Few — the select group of students who keep outsiders away? Who is the dark stranger prowling the corridors at night? And what really happened a year earlier, when the last scholarship girl died in mysterious circumstances?
What did I think of it:
This was a nice enough read, but quite forgettable.
I picked this up because I have a soft spot for stories set at boarding schools. And I finished it because it was an easy and mostly entertaining read.
Still I had hoped for something more. Something that would make it stand out in the sea of mysterious pretty students books there are out there. But it was not to be. Bitchy girls, mysterious hot boys, secret societies: check, check, and double check, but no real bite.
All in all a quick read, but I won't be reading any other books in the series.
Why should you read it:
It's an entertaining Paranormal YA read.
