The cover art for this book 🤩 

Thank you , PRH Audio, for the gifted copy of Academy of Liars {partner} 

 

 

“Lennon's,life is falling apart when she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to take the entrance exam for Drayton College, a school of magic. With nothing to keep her from saying no she goes to find out she has been chosen because—like everyone else at the school—she has the innate gift of persuasion” 

 

I think that An Academy of Liars is the perfect example of the right book but with the wrong reader. And that wrong reader was me 🫠 

 

I typically love dark academia and when I paired it with the start of spooky season, I thought I would be in for a treat. But, there was just something that missed the mark for me. 

 

Alexis Henderson is the queen of atmosphere and she absolutely created the perfect setting for a magic school. It’s dark, hidden and nestled in the historic city of Savannah. I was SO invested in the first half of the book - I couldn’t stop listening and I really loved learning about the school, students, professors and the history. 

 

But, somewhere around the 40-50% mark, I got lost. I had trouble figuring out what was going and where the book was headed. And that’s what I mean about the right book in the wrong hands - I genuinely think An Academy of Liars will be perfect for the more nuanced fantasy lover! 

 

 

Audiobook Review: ☆☆☆☆☆ 

An Academy for Liars is narrated by Tracie Frank and (I think) it’s my first book from the narrator. Frank did a phenomenal job of narrating each character in their own unique way. I can’t wait to read more book narrated by her. 

 

Read if you enjoy: 

🖤 Atmospheric 

🐌 Slow burn 

🪄 Magical school 

🤏🏼 A little romance 

 

I recommend reading An Academy of Liars if you also enjoyed reading Ninth House.
