All That Consumes Us

Ninth House meets The Dead and the Dark in this gothic dark academia novel that delves into the human capacity for great love, great art, and great evil. 

Magni animi numquam moriuntur. Great minds never die. 

The students in Corbin College’s elite academic society, Magni Viri, have it all—free tuition, inspirational professors, and dream jobs once they graduate. When first-gen college student Tara is offered a chance to enroll, she doesn’t hesitate.

Except once she’s settled into the gorgeous Victorian dormitory, something strange starts to happen. She’s finally writing, but her stories are dark and twisted. Her dreams feel as if they could bury her alive. An unseen presence seems to stalk her through the halls.  

And a chilling secret awaits Tara at the heart of Magni Viri—one that just might turn her nightmares into reality; one that might destroy her before she has a chance to escape. 

All That Consumes Us will pull readers into a hypnotizing, dark reverie that blurs the lines of reality and shows that the addictive nature of ambition—and its inevitable price—always claims its due.

While I enjoyed this book (it was delightfully atmospheric), I found the main character a little too dense in the middle. I had to speed it up (I was listening) because I was so annoyed with how slow on the uptake she was. I know it's a YA book, as well, but the main character swung wildly back and forth with her emotions in the middle part of the book. I get that she was exhausted and mentally struggling, but it was too much. I think a bunch of act two could have been edited out.
