A world where music is the conduit of magic!

Stevie still not only has to solve the Truly Devious case from 1936, but also her classmate‘s. Her parents want to pull her out of the school for her safety. How will she stay? Will David be able to help her w/ the case?

3.75⭐️ This one was a little better than the 1st one because there was a bit more mystery. It was still slow & had almost no romance.

Overall, I liked this installment of the Wayward Children. In this one we get to explore the other school for children who have entered mysterious doors. The one thing I didn‘t love was the body shaming, it just felt unnecessary for the plot. 4⭐️

Seiji and Nicholas are getting so close... in their own special way. Really cute.

I'm very curious how/when the secret about Nicholas' father is going to come out to the others, and how he'll react.

I'm gonna be so mad when the story just *stops* at the end of next volume, aren't I.

Ugh, I couldn't resist it, I grabbed the next volume. I LOVED the scenes with Seiji helping Nicholas learn to hit the tennis ball, it was so unexpected and awkward and yet so perfect.

Also, Bobby continues to be adorable, and I love that nothing at all is said about his gender non-conforming.

Basically carries straight on from volume 2, and continues the same themes/trajectory -- if volume 1 didn't work for you, nor will volume 2. Just as I said in the review of the first volume, it's predictable -- I think I know how things will end up.

I did find myself shipping Harvard and Aiden incredibly. I mean they're also good as best friends, and I love that for them too. The way Aiden drops everything for Harvard? Cute.

“If you thought it was possible the world could end in your lifetime,” he began, “how far would you be willing to go to prevent it?”
He stepped back, and we waited to hear the answers.

Stevie starts school at Ellingham Academy, where one of the greatest unsolved crimes had taken place at the hands of the mysterious killer named Truly Devious. They have returned & killed one of her classmates; it‘s up to her to uncover the mystery.

I was really disappointed by this one. It was really slow b/c there was no action until close to the end. The missing pov labels also made it very confusing as times. Hardly any romance.

Bought on a whim. Read in a day. I love a twisty turny political thriller.
