Hell House: A Kildale Academy Novel

January 19, 2024

《4.5☆》 This was an interesting and unique story with some intense plot twists. I love the concept of the 7 deadly sins in a gothic academic setting. There's a lot of characters to keep track of in the beginning and lots of POVs, which can get confusing at times. Once you start getting into it, it becomes easier to remember who's who.

Secondary characters were all amazing and I hope we see them in the next books as well. I mean who can go wrong with the 7 deadly sins? Salem and Skye are both freshman’s at Kildale Acadmey, an esteemed...
