Description

In a world where the supernatural collides with the elite, Galaxy "Alex" Stern finds herself drawn into the mysterious halls of Yale University. Plagued by a dark past, she is thrust into a secret society that delves into magic, power, and the boundaries of life and death. As she navigates this treacherous new reality, Alex must confront not only the otherworldly beings that lurk in the shadows but also the dangerous secrets held by the students around her.

Caught between her struggles and the heavy weights of legacy, Alex discovers that not everything at Yale is as it seems. With each revelation, the stakes rise higher, and the fine line between friend and foe blurs. As she forges unlikely alliances and contemplates her place in this enigmatic world, the true nature of loyalty and betrayal becomes painfully evident.

Through electrifying prose and vivid imagination, the narrative unfolds a tale of ambition, resilience, and the quest for redemption. It’s a gripping exploration of the human heart set against the backdrop of an enthralling, darkly magical universe. Alex's journey serves as a poignant reminder of the strength one can find even amidst the chaos of life.

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.
