Summary: Cassie Bell attends her third semester at Darke Academy, who once again moved to an exotic location. From its first semester in Paris, to New York and now Istanbul, the scenery may be different but the dark secrets and the smell of death only follow the academy wherever it goes. With a more romantic twist mixed in this semester, Cassie continues to struggle between friends, the Few, and romance, without forgetting to watch her back with every move as a killer is ticking off the Few one by one.
My thoughts: The third book involved a more romantic side for both Cassie and Isabelle. I often feel like authors add in romantic scenes and storylines to fill more pages, however, Gabriella Poole wove the romantic threads so well that without them, the story would not have made much sense. Also, unlike many love triangles, I often choose one over the other for who I prefer, in this book I would jump from one to the other just to go back and root for the first one again.
As a series, I must admit this is one of the best series I have read in a long time. It was captivating, well written and different from many other YA novels out there.
Quote p.214: “Cassie knew how much Isabella loved Jake. She knew her friend’s ferocious, burning loyalty, and how violently she defended those she loved; it was just that she’d never been on the receiving end before.
But there was more. Isabella was hiding something.’’
