This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.įirst sentence: “The whole thing feels like a prank at first, like something they planned-a joke with a punch line.” I received this book for free from HarperCollins for review consideration. Anouk, along with several other gifted teenagers, will be the first to set foot in it in over two centuries.īut nothing is as it seems, and the teens―bitter, iron-hearted Anouk, gentle Will, bubbly Lilly, and crazy Jules―soon find themselves trapped in a game far more sinister, and dangerous, than they could possibly have imagined. An evil spanning centuries is waiting for them in the depths. Built in the 1780’s to hide an aristocratic family and a mad duke during the French Revolution, the palace has lain hidden and forgotten ever since.
