As soon as I stepped onto the grounds of Amaris High, I knew I'd made a big mistake. I could never fit in at such a snobbish school – I was more IT girl than "it girl". But then I saw him.
Sam Spencer. My childhood best friend. But it couldn't be. Sam Spencer had died three years ago, on the night that changed everything. I need to know what happened, why he's suddenly not dead and is hanging out with a bunch of rich kids.
When the school is hit by a truth spell, it seems like the perfect chance to find out what Sam and his creepy new friends are hiding, but the weirder things get, the less I'm sure I want to know. Even for Sam, even for the free food, Amaris High might be more trouble than it's worth.
Review
I received
The Truth Spell in return for an honest review from YA Bound. Lucy has been a scholarship
to a very special boarding school that is divided by color and level of the
package. Hopefully this will be the chance she needed after leaving her family
who’s hurting for money. Right away she is befriended by her future roommate
who explains everything to Lucy getting her settled in the red house. However
things aren’t as they seem and when the Golden house members arrive by helicopter
she catches the glimpse of someone from her past she thought was dead.
Determined
to figure out the truth she sets out to figure out if she really did see her
best friend who died Sam but catches attention from one of the other Golden
students. Which pushes her to the outside being treated like an outsider who
isn’t wanted even at the school. He even offers her money that her family could
really use if she would just leave. Yet Lucy is determined to see if it really
was Sam and in that a magical truth spell is unleashed on the school keeping
everyone from being able to lie. As wolves roam the grounds will Lucy find the
truth before it’s too late?
I like
Lucy she’s kind of nerdy and fixes computers for extra money to help her family
and she wears glasses. Which I have to admit has been rare until recently in
young adult novels I’ve noticed. I didn’t like Tennyson at first because he was
determined to have Lucy leave but he kind of grew on me the more we know. I
also liked Sam after we learn about him it all makes sense.
I had
been seeing this one around for a while and when the chance came up to review
it I had to sign up. After all who wouldn’t want to read a werewolf boarding school?
Right away it reminded me a little of Harry Potter since it opens up at the
station. However that is where the similarities end it’s a unique spin on the
boarding school concept. Lucy is an interesting character super nerdy but I
think it works. I kind of love the concept of our main character being nerd
made her easy to connect with. A fast paced hard to put down novel it was easy
to finish in a few short hours. I enjoyed the first person writing style it
really worked in this novel. I can’t wait to read the next one and see how
things are going to work out for Lucy after all there is still a briefcase to
talk about.
