The secret society everyone's dying to join. Dead Poets Society meets Wednesday and Holly Jackson in this Gothic dark academia thriller, with a secret society that's almost impossible to get into. Packed with intense school drama and deadly competition.
The secret society everyone's dying to join ...
A case of mistaken identity means Eddie Dontay is hurled into the exclusive world of New Haven School. Pretending to be Bartholomew "Brat" Van Buren III, the sole heir to a rich family, who mysteriously disappeared a year ago, Eddie is sent undercover to expose the dark secrets of the Gloomth society.
But all is not what it seems. Eddie must participate in a series of difficult initiations, which prove his fitness for the club, competing against other students. An increasingly deadly contest culminates in the most dangerous challenge of all at a horror-filled, legendary Gothic house.
Is joining the Gloomth really worth dying for?
Perfect for fans of Wednesday and Holly Jackson.
