“A twisty and thrilling dark academia fantasy that will have you enthralled from the very first page.” —Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning
Six students compete to change their fate at a darkly enchanted boarding school in purgatory where graduation is the only escape—and love can cross the boundaries between life and death.
This stunning hardcover edition features gorgeous, flower-patterned sprayed edges, colored endpapers, and an exclusive foil-stamped case!
Welcome to Blackwood Academy: the legendary school located on the fringes of the afterlife. Once a pupil enters the academy’s arched gates, there is no way out…except the Decennial, a cut-throat magical competition with only one victor.
This year, six of the Academy’s top students have been chosen to face the Decennial’s tests. Two academic archrivals, whose strange connection blurs the lines between obsession and hate. One girl driven solely by ambition, and another plagued by memories of the love she lost. And a charming playboy who never cared for anyone—until he met the academy’s newest student. But what none of them know? They aren’t the only ones playing Blackwood’s game.
Who will win, and who will fall? Only one thing is for certain: in this game, some fates are worse than death.

I didn't hate this book. But I also didn't love it. While it was entertaining enough, it just felt like it was missing something. I wasn't all that invested in the characters, and despite their backstories I felt that they were mostly one dimensional. The twists were somewhat surprising but I didn't find myself caring as much as I normally would. Overall, it was an okay read, and I will read book 2 because the ending has piqued my interest, but I'm not desperate to know what will happen.
This is not a genre I usually seek out, but I loved the cover and the book's description. I listened to the audiobook version of this, and I really enjoyed that there were multiple narrators, it made it much easier to remember who was who.
The storyline was intriguing, with the boarding school being at the edge of the afterlife. Throughout the book, we follow a group of six students who are competing against each other on intense, dangerous trials to be the victor of the Decennial.
I really liked how Darkwood Academy was described, so dark and gothic. I could imagine it so vividly. The characters were great, so different from each other, different traits which made each likeable in different ways. I can’t decide who my favourite is.
Overall, I like the audiobook, it kept me engaged throughout, and I will definitely read book 2 when it is published.
