Reviews
"A Lesson in Vengeance is at once dark and mesmerizing, with spine-tingling suspense and mind-bending twists. I loved it."--Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders and That Weekend

"A smart, layered, thought-provoking thriller about female desire and the intimacy of violence."--Ava Reid, author of The Wolf and the Woodsman

"Darkly radiant and brilliantly wicked, A Lesson in Vengeance is a sharp dissection of queerness, ambition, and the forbidden luster of the occult. This book will possess you from first pages to its haunting, final words."--Ryan La Sala, author of Be Dazzled and Reverie

"A Lesson in Vengeance is the witchy boarding school story I always knew I wanted, a gorgeous take on the complicated bonds of female love and friendship, told in lyrical, creeping prose as haunting as the tale itself. The ghosts of Felicity, Ellis, and Alex--and of Dalloway School and its historical witches--will linger with you long after the final page." --Lana Popovic, author of Wicked Like a Wildfire

"With queer primary characters, an irresistible gothic atmosphere, and unrelenting creeping dread, this propulsive work of dark academia is both thrilling and thought-provoking." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"[A] twisty, immersive thriller." --Booklist, starred review

"...Devastatingly poetic...Teens will be as haunted by this narrative as the characters within its pages."--SLJ, starred review
