When Tess and Eliot stumble upon an ancient book hidden in a secret tunnel beneath the school library, they accidentally release a devil from his book-bound prison, and he’ll stop at nothing to stay free. He’ll manipulate all the ink in the library books to do his bidding, he’ll murder in the stacks, and he’ll bleed into every inch of Tess’s life until his freedom is permanent. Forced to work together, Tess and Eliot have to find a way to re-trap the devil before he kills everyone they know and love, including, increasingly, each other. And compared to what the devil has in store for them, school stress suddenly doesn’t seem so bad after all.

One of the tropiest of tropefests I have read in a while. A poor prodigy brought to a fancy school unleashes a devil from a secret book. With nods to pretty much every YA trope out there this is not the most original or creative story out there. The prose is written well enough but the storyline was predictable, the teenage angst annoying and I found it ticking most of my pet dislikes within the genre.
I feel so bad for not liking this book, because it sounded like my cup of tea. I did like the atmosphere in the book, but I disliked the writing style and I couldn't care less for the characters.
I had so much fun reading this!
Hunted library, strong heroine, magic, the devil... this story flew by! Couldn't read it fast enough.
