When Jack left Eleanor West’s School for Wayward Children she was carrying the body of her deliciously deranged sister—whom she had recently murdered in a fit of righteous justice—back to their home on the Moors.

But death in their adopted world isn’t always as permanent as it is here, and when Jack is herself carried back into the school, it becomes clear that something has happened to her. Something terrible. Something of which only the maddest of scientists could conceive. Something only her friends are equipped to help her overcome.

Eleanor West’s “No Quests” rule is about to be broken.

Again.

Amazon | Goodreads | Wayward Children Series

I’m finally diving back into the Wayward Children series and honestly, I’m kind of upset it took me so long. While you could probably read any installment in the series by itself, I wouldn’t recommend it. There are definitely characters that you see throughout the series and this one is a perfect example as it’s the conclusion of Jack and Jill’s story, which carried through 3 of the books so far.

I loved returning to Jack and Jill’s story and seeing the conclusion to their paths. Most of the book is spent in their world, the Moors, and includes not only them, but a number of other students from the school. Diving more into Jack’s motivations and psyche as well as seeing the aftermath of what happened in the first book. We see some real emotional depth and very human reactions from Jack, dare I say some vulnerability, so it was really nice to see more fleshing out to her character.

Happy reading!
