I enjoyed the first two-thirds of this book. The author created suspense around a bright, young woman, named Carrie, who goes to Oxford to unravel the mysteries about her deceased mother. I was totally unprepared for the introduction of the supernatural elements which did not fit with the first part of the book. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Cassie comes to Oxford University to try to learn more about her mother, who died when she was 14, and possibly identify and locate her father. She becomes caught up in researching a secret society which may have led to her mother fleeing Oxford. I enjoyed the first half of this book, as Cassie looked for information about her mother and adjusted to the Oxford society. I was less enchanted by the second half as Cassie got more into the supernatural aspects of the secret society. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Good story, a blend of supernatural with a kick ass heroine. Cassie Blackwell has not had the easiest of lives but has worked hard at academia in order to enter Oxford on scholarship. She has also made it her life's mission to find out what happened to her mother during her own mysterious time at Oxford. She discovers more than she bargained for with a secret society 'The School of Night' at Raleigh College, a dark and dangerous group of privileged aristocrats. I liked that Cassie was tough and when necessity called for it could hold her own against abusive villains. I loved the authors descriptions of the college campuses, surrounding areas and it's history. Recommended for a light suspenseful read. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I also felt like it drug on forever. I read it in a relatively short period of time but in trying to finish it I thought it was going to last forever. Sometimes I wonder if authors have a word limit that they have to meet because there are some books I have read that could have gotten to the point at lot sooner and still have been just as good without having to use the ton of words they did.
