Summary
Dark academia perfect for fans of The Secret History and If We Were Villains. Four scholarship students’ dreams come true when they are accepted into an exclusive boarding school, but they will soon be bound by a dark secret that could save one of them… or destroy them all…
'A dark, compelling and beguiling novel of revenge, guilt and love – Ellie Keel is a dazzling new voice’ Kate Mosse
‘An intensely gripping, thrilling and darkly beautiful debut. I was hooked’ Karin Slaughter
‘Sharp, powerful, tragic and addictive’ Chris Whitaker
‘This is The Secret History for millennials' Daisy Goodwin
We were always The Four. From our very first day at High Realms.
The four scholarship pupils. Outsiders in a world of power and privilege.
It would have made our lives a lot easier if Marta had simply pushed Genevieve out of our bedroom window that day. Certainly, it would have been tragic. She would have died instantly.
But Marta didn’t push her then, or – if you choose to believe me – at any other time. If she had, all of what we went through would not have happened.
I’ve told this story as clearly as I could – as rationally as I’ve been able, in the circumstances, to achieve. I don’t regret what we did. And I would do it all again.
'Suspenseful… an engrossing read' The Sunday Times
‘Addictive debut… sharp, compelling’ Adele Parks, Platinum
'Darkly disturbing and deeply atmospheric' Heat
‘One warning: clear your diary before you pick up this novel, as once you’ve read a handful of pages you will be hooked' I News

I really wanted to love this book.
I really enjoyed the beginning of this book but unfortunately as the book went on I found it too wordy and it felt a little self indulgent. It's as though the author was adding content more to show her writing skills than to add to the story. In my opinion it went on far too long and I am afraid to say I found myself skipping forward to move the story along. I liked the character of Rose at the begging of the book but again as the book progressed she became self absorbed and annoying. Such a shame because I think with better editing the book could have been good.

Wow this book is traumatising
This book is billed as like the secret history it’s more like a little life set in a school. The bullying is too much for me brutal, aggressive gratuitous. It’s about friendship and mental health, which are the only redeeming features.
