This book was everything I wanted and more! Thank you so much to Kensington Books and Charlie Donlea for this fantastic ARC. The premise was truly captivating and I had no idea where it was going. It’s based around an elite prep school (which is my absolute favorite setting) and a haunting game called Man in the Mirror.

When two students are found brutally murdered their teacher is charged with the crime. A year later, the other students who were present are committing suicide one by one and no one knows why. A podcast starts reporting on the case and many interesting characters get involved.

Thoughts: This book grabbed my attention right from the beginning and I didn’t lose interest for a second. The premise was so unique and was full of all the things I loved- the boarding school setting, a mystery podcast, and suspicious murder. I had no idea where this story was going and was completely caught up in the mystery. The idea of the Man in the Mirror game was truly horrifying and the whispers of the supernatural gave me chills.

I liked that the story switched between a few different perspectives. One of them was a psychopathic child, another a strong willed main character that I wanted to learn more about. I will be reading other books by Charlie Donlea for sure, and completely loved this one. 5-fantastic stars!
