wait I actually don't mind I just REALLY love found family and a romance subplot
the one that comes to mind is truly devious by Maureen Johnson, I didn't love it, but you might !!
I would love to try it but i haven't heard the best reviews 😭
Ok so back when I was a teen I read this series called Night School by C.J Daugherty. It's set in a mysterious boarding school in England I think ? There's mystery and conspiracy and definitely a romance subplot. Now, I don't know if it's aged well as I read the last book back in 2017 and haven't reread the series since. It's also has love triangle which got on my last nerve, but some people like that. I remember being really invested though.
rn i’m reading the arc for “boys with sharp teeth” which fits all of these criteria :) i like it a lot!!!
truly devious was really good!! its a dark academia and the vibes were just perfect. boarding school, found family, mystery thriller, everything you said!dont trust reviews because you could be missing out on your next 5 star read 😋

to get an arc basically just create an account on netgalley and request the titles u want!! super fun and easy, i’ve gotten approved for like 6/8 titles so far
okay, it’s not exactly a school, but the naturals. it’s about teenagers who are training in a section of the FBI. it has the found family, no spice, mystery/thrilled, and a romance subplot. i guess it’s kind of similar to a boarding school, tho, because they’re all stuck in this one FBI house thing.
