Description
Inside the walls of Indiana's elite Westmont Preparatory High School, expectations run high and rules are strictly enforced. But in the woods beyond the manicured campus and playing fields sits an abandoned boarding house that is infamous among Westmont's students as a late-night hangout. Here, only one rule applies: don't let your candle go out--unless you want the Man in the Mirror to find you...
One year ago, two students were killed there in a grisly slaughter. The case has since become the focus of a hit podcast, The Suicide House. Though a teacher was convicted of the murders, mysteries and questions remain. The most urgent among them is why so many students who survived that horrific night have returned to the boarding house--to kill themselves.
Rory, an expert in reconstructing cold cases, is working on The Suicide House podcast with Lane, recreating the night of the killings in order to find answers that have eluded the school, the town, and the police. But the more they learn about the troubled students, the chillingly stoic culprit, and a dangerous game gone tragically wrong, the more convinced they become that something sinister is still happening. Inside Westmont Prep, the game hasn't ended. It thrives on secrecy and silence. And for its players, there may be no way to win--or to survive...

So in „some choose darkness“, the first book of this series, I wasn’t entirely sure if Rory was also on the autism spectrum, but in this one it was very clear and talked about often. I really love her character and how her mind works. How she knows exactly how to handle her life and what she wants/needs to do, in order to be the happiest. Lane is an amazing partner for her and they both balance each other out perfectly. The end of the book is giving the vibes that it is not the last one, so here’s to hoping that we soon get a third one in the series. I expected this book to start off with the girl from book one, whose doll Rory repaired. And while we did get a tiny glimpse of that, it was not the case in question. But this case was really interesting and also kept you guessing for a long, long time. I did have a bad feeling a little earlier than Rory did, but that girl has some instincts! And she fights with all her might when needed. Truly another fascinating book/case.
