Description

Galaxy “Alex” Stern stands out as an unconventional addition to Yale's prestigious freshman class. With a troubled past rooted in Los Angeles, Alex navigates her new environment grappling with the shadows that have followed her—literally and figuratively. Her life takes a turn when she is recruited to oversee the university's secret societies, each steeped in ancient magic and dark rituals.

As Alex delves deeper into this hidden world, she uncovers the mysteries tied to Yale's elite and the sinister forces at play. While she battles her inner demons, Alex must also confront the dangers lurking within these societies, pushing her to question her own abilities and judgment.

With a unique blend of supernatural elements and hard-hitting realism, Alex's journey unfolds in a tale that explores privilege, power, and the consequences of secrets. As her story weaves through the hallowed halls of Yale, she is forced to confront her past while carving out her future in a realm where magic and reality intersect violently.

i dont think she should write adult books SORRY

July 31st 2025

“People didn’t go looking for lies that didn’t have a reason.”Honestly, this book wasn’t what I was expecting yet it was, at the same time. It’s hard to explain, but, basically, I thought it was going to be a Holly Jackson meets dark romance set themed book that centred around a murder mystery at Yale. It was, in a way, but not. There is a murder mystery, and it is at Yale, but there’s also a unique sort of magic. Think of The Order on Netflix—like that, but darker and without werewolves. And, honestly, I wanted to be gripped into the mystery. Unable to tear my eyes away from the book until I reached the end—but I wasn’t. I simply paced through the book at the rate I did, content. The revelation didn’t all that surprise me, like I had wanted, but the relationship dynamic between Darlington and Alex has interested me and so has the world that it is set in. It’s different, which I think is refreshing because I like different. But I would loved for it to have been gripping in a way that left you reeling.
