Synopsis

Welcome to Blackwood Academy: the legendary school located on the fringes of the afterlife. Once a pupil enters the academy’s arched gates, there is no way out...except for the Decennial, a once-in-a-decade celebration in which a single, worthy student is tested and given a choice: Graduate and join Blackwood’s magical elite, or cross over to the mysterious Other Side.

This time, though, the rules have changed. This Decennial isn’t a celebration—it’s a competition. And there can only be one victor.

Two academic archrivals, whose strange connection blurs the lines between obsession and hate.

One girl driven solely by ambition, and another plagued by memories of the love she lost.

And a charming playboy who never cared for anyone—until he met the academy’s newest student.

Each of these six students has their own motivation to win...and their own secret to hide. But what none of them know? They aren’t the only ones playing Blackwood’s game. And if they lose...some fates are worse than death.

WREN

Wren Loughty hadn’t bothered to lock her bedroom door. She had come to accept that it was rather pointless to pretend that secured locks and protective wards would make a difference. There was simply no avoiding the inevitable. So when she awoke to a set of hands clamped over her mouth, the familiar scent of peppermint and sandalwood wafting up her nose, she wasn’t all that surprised.

In fact, she’d been expecting it.

What disconcerted her was the strange dream of her mother she’d been having only moments earlier. She always found it odd that they still held the ability to sleep and dream. The dead weren’t meant to dream. Though she supposed they weren’t dead—­not really. They existed in the place between. The place parallel to life and death, the one right on the cusp of birth and the dawn of the afterlife.

Whatever that meant.

She tried not to give the transitory nature of purgatory too much thought.

Pale light pooled in through the sheer drapes, illuminating the ivy-­speckled ceiling in a crescent shape. Wren blinked, her vision adjusting to the darkness, and refocused her attention on her intruder.

Augustine Hughes’s familiar slate-­gray eyes hovered above her with smug amusement, the right side of his mouth curled into a smirk.

“I hope you’ll forgive me for the rude awakening, Loughty.” His gaze snaked over her face with careful precision. “Had to be sure you wouldn’t scream and blow my cover. You know . . . given your track record.”

Why I love it

I love reading long fantasy books in the summer. There’s something lovely about sitting at the beach, cracking open a thick fantasy book, knowing that you have hours on end to explore a new world. This year, Immortal Consequences was easily my favorite beach read to get lost in.

Blackwood Academy is a school located at the edge of the afterlife, where students learn how to shepherd lost souls. For those who study hard, there is a chance to join the elite faculty of Blackwood Academy and avoid the Other Side, which is an unknowable fate for all who cross over. The Decennial is a once-in-a-decade celebration to help Blackwood Academy select which of their students will join the elite. But this year the rules of the Decennial have changed, and celebration has turned to competition. Six students will have the chance to change their fates forever…if they can survive the mysterious dangers that lie ahead.

Immortal Consequences is simply pure fun, a magical competition where the stakes have never been higher and secrets and betrayal go hand in hand. I began reading this book for the immersive world and magical academy, but I stayed for the characters. I couldn’t stop reading until I knew their fates and who would survive. Don’t forget to add this book to your box this summer—it’s not to be missed!
