Caldonbrae Hall, or “Hope” to insiders, is a prestigious English boarding school on the craggy shores of Scotland. Rose Christie can‘t believe her good fortune when she is hired to teach the Classics at the elite school. But Rose soon realizes that something sinister is going on inside these ancient halls. This book is DISTURBING, with an increasing sense of dread and horror as you read further along.👇🏼

Cinfhen Sure, this book has some plot holes, and I could list a few potential weaknesses but I didn‘t care because this book was BONKERS and UNPUTDOWNABLE. #NetGalley PUBLISHES MAY 18

rubyslippersreads Boarding school, yes. Creepy AF, not sure. 😂 I‘m going to await reviews from @LeahBergen @batsy @KarenUK and the rest of you before I decide. 4y

Cinfhen Good call @rubyslippersreads it‘s a very polarizing book. 4y

robinb I had mixed feelings on this one, but definitely polarizing, creepy and disturbing. 4y

Cinfhen I‘m so sorry, I somehow missed your comment @LoverOfLearning but maybe now you remember the name of the horror movie 😉Id say this book could be called horror, right @robinb ?? And a bit of Handmaid‘s vibes, too!?!!! 4y

robinb Yes, it gives that horror vibe. Very heavy and dark. I felt wrung out by the end of it. 🤣🤣🤣 4y

Cinfhen I‘m still grossed out over the sex part with the teacher 🤢🤮 @robinb and this is a school of legacy 😱 4y

robinb @Cinfhen Yes!!! Basically not a redeeming character in the book. She became so lethargic about it all sometimes that I just wanted to shake her. However, it all just seemed so hopeless and inevitable, I can understand just wanting to give up and conform. 4y
