Truly Devious: A Mystery

I truly believe I found my new favorite mystery thriller. O...M...G..that ending!?! did not see that coming and absolutely love the to be continued i'm like what the way to leave a cliff hanger like that LOL. I'm now scrambling to get my hands on the vanishing stair. Hopefully i can get my hands on it cause I want to keep going soooo badly now. I love love loved this book and binged this within a day. it was that good. I know this is a YA mystery thriller but I'd say this one was better than most adult mystery thrillers. I loved getting a scope into a boarding school environment. I loved the writing style. I loved Stevie she was amazing! and Nate what a good combination. The gambit of characters whether they were the main or side characters really meshed well and made this a perfect magical story that I am definitely going to reread in the future once I get through this first round of reading. I cannot wait for the box in the woods now in june 2021!

When Stevie Bell is accepted into Ellingham Academy, a school for gifted students, she thinks it's the chance of a lifetime to solve the ‘Truly Devious' murders. What she doesn't anticipate is a classmate turning up dead. Was it an accident, or has there been another murder on the property all these years later?

I ate up the setting of this book. Ellingham Academy would have been my dream school at this age and I loved all of the different personalities of the characters. It could be over the top at times, but that's to be expected in a YA book. That was part of the fun, too. It's also the definition of a page-turner. As soon as I got to the end I had to start The Vanishing Stair.
