[Review] A Darker Mischief by Derek Milman

There is a lot of love in this book. Dark academia. Secret societies. Hidden histories. And queer characters. It is a dark and twisted reminder of the power and corruption of money. And it does a very good job of capturing the isolation, loneliness, and awkwardness of being an outsider trying to fit into the classed structure of wealth and privilege.

Even though I loved the premise of the book, the writing could have been more tidy. The formatting was awkward and confusing at times. And, while this book had a compelling start and a great conclusion, I felt it lagged around the middle.

Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released July 2, 2024.
