Dear Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé 

You have just become one of my new auto buy authors.

This book is full of suspense, mystery and a true look at what dark academia means in young adult fiction. To critique and comment on educational institutions and the system and structure. 
The audiobook was amazing as well, I love when extra production is put into an audiobook to make them more engaging. 

If you love a story that keeps you guessing, full of puzzles and anagrams and unreliable narrators then this is the perfect book to recommend. This is so much more than a YA mystery thriller and I hope that anyone picking this title up can see that once they're done. 

Also there is a cute animal sidekick so, bonus points.
