We Were Liars meets The Raven Boys in this mind-bending YA debut about dark revenge, twisted desire, and the sinister secrets lurking behind the walls of an elite boarding school. "A darkly delicious spiral where each page makes you crave more." ?CG Drews, author of Don't Let The Forest In "A stunningly lush, utterly compelling, darkly beautiful debut!" ?Ginny Myers Sain, New York Times bestselling author of Dark and Shallow Lies Seventeen-year-old Marin James has spent her entire life living in the shadow of the exclusive Huntsworth Academy. And when her cousin’s dead body is found in a creek on school property, Marin knows exactly who’s to blame: Adrian Hargraves and Henry Wu, the enigmatic yet dangerously alluring leaders of the school's social elite. Swapping her ripped jeans for a crisp prep school skirt, Marin infiltrates Huntsworth to seek justice. But her quest is quickly muddied by a confusing attraction to her new life, and to the two dysfunctional and depraved boys who somehow understand her better than anyone ever has. When Marin uncovers an otherworldly secret the boys are hiding within Huntsworth's ivied gates, the lines between right and wrong, love and hate, and nightmare and reality begin to crumble -- and nothing is as it seems. Welcome to Huntsworth Academy.

This was good and weird even for dark academia and once you think you know how it's going to end it does a complete 180. Jamie lies her way into an expensive private school so she can figure out who killed her cousin.

PuddleJumper I've got this on my ARC backlog, hoping to get to it in October. Dark academia can be a tricky genre 1d

Mehso-so

If you are looking for a moody, broody, atmospheric realistic horror-esque boarding school story, this is for you. I loved the way it felt a bit otherworldly while being completely modern, too.

'Boys With Sharp Teeth' is a YA dark academia novel. Marin disguises herself as Jamie Vane to find out who murdered her cousin. The novel was well-written with some beautiful passages. However, I found it hard to engage at points. One of the main themes is the darkness within, how much of herself is Marin willing to give to find Sam's killer(s). 4 stars.
