"AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
I.V. Marie's thrilling dark academia debut set at a magical boarding school in purgatory where some fates are worse than death … For fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House, Olivie Blake's The Atlas Six and Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education.
Welcome to Blackwood Academy: a boarding school located on the fringes of the afterlife.
No one knows why they end up at Blackwood; but when they enter the school's arched gates the only way out is to be chosen for the Decennial – a series of magical trials held once a decade. The chosen pupil is offered a choice: graduate and join Blackwood’s magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the Other Side.
Wren knows she has what it takes to win—unless, that is, her arch-rival (and subject of her tortured dreams) Augustine steals her spot.
Irene has never cared about playing by the rules and will break whatever (and whoever) stands in her way, including her only friend, Masika.
Olivier has given up securing the nomination. But he’ll stop at nothing to keep Emilio, from crossing over to the Other Side.
All are determined to be Blackwood’s chosen candidate. All are determined to win. But this Decennial will be unlike any before.
Six nominees.
Four trials.
One victor.
The competitors are about to learn that there are some fates worse than death."
"From the author of Some Girls Do comes a summery sapphic romance about two girls from the same vacation town, whose worlds couldn't be farther apart.
Cass has a rule about dating summer girls-just say no. Every year, her idyllic beach town is flooded with summer girls, the obnoxious daughters of the rich, who stay in their families' summer homes, sail their yachts, and generally make things unbearable for townies like Cass.
Birdie is the ultimate summer girl. She's the daughter of a wealthy real estate developer dad and a social media influencer mom, and this summer Birdie happens to be in big trouble for accidentally crashing her boyfriend's very expensive car.
Birdie's punishment is to spend the summer with her father at the beach-but it won't be a vacation. He's enlisted the help of Cass, whose dad works for him, to keep Birdie on the straight and narrow, including getting her a job at the public beach where Cass lifeguards.
At first the two despise each other. Birdie doesn't want a babysitter, and Cass doesn't want to be one. But as the season heats up, Birdie surprises Cass time and again, and before long both girls can't help but wonder: Are some rules made to be broken?"
