So much fun. Didn't expect this to grab me quite the way it did. Very excited to continue with the series. 
You might like this book if you like mysteries, badass FMC, and/or magical schools.

Quise algo que llenara el vacío que dejo A good girl's guide to murder, y no lo conseguí.
Me puso triste que me decepcionara tanto, no se si es terrible, quizas lea el segundo libro, pero no le llego a los talones a AGGGTM.
Odio que me vendan a los protagonistas como super capos y despues sean unos nabos, y me vendieron una re fan de los misterios (ok si estuvo) que tenia planeado investigar el misterio de la desaparicion de la hija y esposa del fundador de la escuela, lo cual mucho no paso. Y después hay otro caso que tiene q investigar, y tamp investiga demasiado.. Como que yo esperaba que TODO el libro fuera investigacion, no el ultimo 6% pero QSY!!!!
Los personajes medios meh no me movieron un pelo pero PONELE que la relacion de ella y david era entretenida. Nate increiblemente el que mejor me cayo ajsjsjas
X, si vos arrancas en el genero con este libro no esta mal, pero despues de leer a Holly Jackson no me conformo con estas huevadas.

I’m very interested to find out what happens though I wasn’t too invested til the end. I also kind of hate a lot of the characters especially David. Immediately borrowed the next one though and am starting it even without finishing my review.

Holy Hades this book is amazing!!!! The cliffhanger at the end was awesome, and the whole plot line was soooo cool! I cannot wait to read the second book!!! This is definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read! I feel in love with the characters, and each one is so different, so complex, I love it!!! This is probably just a rant but wow! Then the plot line of the previous murders at Ellingham Academy are so interesting and I NEED to know what happened and who Truly Devious really is!!! The mystery is one of the most complex I’ve ever read, and that makes it all the more appealing. There are fun poems and riddles, and it is so much fun to read!! The books opens from the perspective if a girl name Dottie, and it is very fun to read. I love this book and it is totally a five star read!!!!
