Poor Gabe…

Hmm...

The characters in this are mostly like the original, but the plot doesn't really follow the same story (here and there are aspects that resemble it but not enough for this to be like a true retelling). Part of me wonders if this would have worked better as just a historical fiction story set during this time and not a retelling/remix.

I appreciate all her Star Wars references and comparisons so much XD

FINALLY Lorie shows up. Good grief. I don't know if I would have continued after this chapter if he wasn't introduced... the writing style isn't my favorite.

I like how she adapted their names. Super cute

I love the Maud sisters so much. I aspire to write characters that are as unique and memorable as them

There are moments that you’ll remember for the rest of your life and there are moments that you /think/ you’ll remember for the rest of your life, and it’s not often they turn out to be the same moments.

This is fun because I know nothing about rap

This also reminds me of RWBY. A darker, murder mystery version. But four girls at a boarding school. Magic. Monsters.

It still drives me crazy that parents would leave their kids along at home when all this is happening but at least someone FINALLY fought back gosh darn it

Look, I get that this is a small town with a small police force but after, I don't know, the third or fourth victim wouldn't you think they'd call in reinforcements & LOCK DOWN EVERYTHING. Like patrols EVERYWHERE so the killer can't just climb into someone's window, stab, & climb back out without anybody noticing. AND PARENTS DIDN'T STAY HOME WITH THEIR CHILDREN. GOODNESS. This is just incredible stupid & I hate it.

I love that this is also set in garden heights

This is just so stupid

Starting my annual reread today because I'm trying to read the chapters on the dates they occur in the book. I'm using this reread to test the list I made last year to see if it matches up!

This is stupid and awful and so not worth reading 200 pages to find out

Um. If they just identified the killer then… how is there over 100 pages left of this book? Where’s the twist???? What’s the twist???

This is way more disturbing than I expected and if I wasn’t reading this for a book club I’d probably quit

Oh snap! You tell 'em, Jane!

What are the odds that I'm reading 2 books right now set at school where students are being murdered, there is a transgender character, and the second victims both had their brains bashed in. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Um. Gross?

This beginning threw me off completely. Chapter 1 should have been a prologue or something

Look, have I mentioned how much I love Katherine yet? Because I DO.

This has definitely given me a new perspective on lifestyles that are different than my own and why people make some of the choices they do

I had a feeling Ari might be the Little Mermaid! And Rory is clearly Sleeping Beaity. Interesting!

Not sure how I feel about this yet… too much private school drama without anything actually happening?

I’m still trying to figure which girl is which fairy tale reimagined. Ella is obviously Cinderella and I’m thinking Yuki is Snow White. But I haven’t figured out Rory, NaNo, or even Ari yet

Ooh, nice plot twist!

Oooh! This is going to be fun!!

The world building and magic in this is interesting. I wasn’t sure about it at first but now I’m curious

What
