Every flame begins with a spark. Blackwood Academy was supposed to be a fresh start for Ashline Wilde. A secluded boarding school deep in the heart of California’s redwood forests, three thousand miles from her old life—it sounded like the new beginning she needed after an act of unspeakable violence left a girl in her hometown dead. But Blackwood is far from the peaceful haven Ashline was searching for. Because terrifying, supernatural beasts roam the forests around campus. Because the murderer from Ashline’s hometown—her own sister—has followed her across the country. Because a group of reincarnated gods and goddesses has been mysteriously summoned to Blackwood...and Ashline’s one of them.

Mehso-so

I have so many thoughts about this book. So many snarky, snarky thoughts. It could be so good. But instead, it was humorous (unintentionally, and in the same way the Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter movie strikes me as hilarious) The characters are diverse (two Polynesians, a Haitian, a Japanese girl, an Egyptian, a Hopi trickster, and two blondes) but the writing it stilted and somewhat awkward. Ending is open and mostly unresolved.

The agony...the agony...

JoeStalksBeck I found one earlier in mine too. They wrote " she had had stepped into the room" ? 7y
lilredhen @JoeStalksBeck one of the few incidences in the English language in which "had had" is actually grammatically incorrect ? (edited) 7y

Anyone else read this? It looked interesting, so I checked it out. I feel like I'm reading something Radar wrote when he was taking correspondence school... Fairly certain I'm going to finish it.
