Critics Review

“A mystery that coils around the reader’s throat and doesn’t let go.” —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Shiny Happy People“Buried lies, hidden clues, and mysterious disappearances, all slithering around a delightfully delicate love triangle.” —Megan Davidhizar, author of Silent Sister and Gaslit“An atmospheric, magnetic mystery, driven by a fierce found family whose relationships are even richer than the missing treasure that they seek.” —Charlotte Lillie Balogh, author of Kill the Lax Bro“Perfect for Wednesday and The Inheritance Games fans… It’s packed with backstabbing, puzzles, and a secret order that leaves you wondering what they could be doing in the darkness.“—Parade”A pulse-pounding mystery… Expertly rendered character dynamics, a believably suspenseful love triangle, and a focus on the bracing impact of trust and friendship sets this YA debut apart.” —Publishers Weekly“The angst of unrequited teenage love pairs quite well with the life-or-death hunt for buried treasure, and the explosive conclusion satisfyingly wraps things up.” —Booklist“A good addition to the YA dark academia genre with a treasure hunt at its core that will also appeal to fans of Jennifer Lynn Barnes’s “The Inheritance Games” and the National Treasure movies.” —School Library Journal
