Truly Devious

explodingtardis10 shared a tip "Going between the 1936 timeline and the present day, I was hooked from the beginning. Ellingham Academy is famous for a kidnapping and triple murder that is still unsolved. Stevie Bell is determined to solve it after 80 years of it being cold. I should mention the school has tunnels, dark secrets, far too many statues, and technically belongs to a long presumed dead Alice Ellingham who disappeared at three years old. Also, that's not even half the drama of high school. Love it. Already on book 2."

courtney_prygocki shared a tip "I enjoy books with duel timelines in part telling the same story. I love the writing. The characters were developed well. I loved the little cute and awkward love between Stevie and David. David got better as the book went on. I liked it way more than I thought I would. 4.5 ⭐️"

jessica_robinson_5 shared a tip "A perfect read for those who are new to Psychological thriller or looking for a new YA fast-paced book. A perfect read for fans of Trenton Lee Stewart (ex Mysterious Benedict Society) and Jennifer Lynn Barnes (ex The Naturals)."

Fast read and great four book series. Just pick it up and read if you’re into mysteries, history based fiction, and dark, whimsical experiences during the 21st century."
