Synopsis
Welcome to Dunhollow Academy, where magic and status means the world, and death lurks in every corridor. . .‘An evocative fantasy imbued with mystery, ghosts, and an enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance. In compelling prose, its suspenseful gothic atmosphere is interwoven with magic to create the perfect spooky season read’ India Holton, bestselling author of the Dangerous Damsels series --- Rose Thenlif has never felt at home in these elite halls.An outcast for her inability to cast spells, she keeps her head in books, away from the critical eye of her headmistress mother, and the sneers of her fellow scholars – especially the talented but insufferable Sylvie. But in the corridors of Dunhollow, something strange and threatening is stirring. Classmates are going missing and Rose discovers that she alone can see their ghosts. Are they dead, or enchanted? Or is something more sinister at work? Worse yet, Rose’s latest ghostly vision is Sylvie – who’s just as displeased as Rose is to find herself magically tied to her greatest academic rival. The reluctant pair must team up to uncover the deadly mystery that lies at the heart of the academy, before time runs out for Sylvie. But are either of them prepared to face the most haunting of secrets, one buried deep in both their hearts?Tropes/themes: - Enemies-to-lovers- Fish out of water- Forced proximity - Paranormal love----Readers are loving Whispers Most Foul ‘I wish I could give Whispers Most Foul 10 stars!
