Four students from Armstrong Prep were on their way home from an epic party when a tragic accident occurs. Spencer, Ethan, Tabby and Chris were in the vehicle at the time. Three of them survived, and one of them died.

The Headmaster’s List started off with a bang. But eventually, the excitement and thrills waned as the story progressed. It became a somewhat boring read with very little plot twists. If there were any plot twists, they were pretty much predictable.

The characters all seemed generic to me. None of them stood out and made any lasting impression. Except, they were all spoiled and wealthy trust fund teens.

I really liked the author’s fantasy novels from the Never After series so I had some pretty lofty expectations for this recent novel. Unfortunately, The Headmaster’s List wasn’t as suspenseful or thrilling as I expected. And with a bland ending, it became an okay two star read for me.

I received a finished copy of the book from Roaring Book Press through Bookish First. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
