My Review of  “The Maidens”

I did not like this book at all. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, the story seemed a bit random, and the whole thing just seemed ludicrous. I mean, Mariana is not very good at her job judging by her behaviour in this story, poking around at crime scenes and falling out with police detectives when she isn’t even involved in the case, professionally or non. And then there’s the farce about the Maidens… I think this book is made out to be something spectacular when it really isn’t. And that’s all I can say about it.

About the Book

 YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN THE MAIDENS.

The Maidens are Cambridge University’s most exclusive society, whose members are selected by the charismatic professor of Greek tragedy, Edward Fosca.

A SECRETIVE SET OF THE BRIGHTEST, MOST CAPTIVATING STUDENTS.

When one of the Maidens is murdered, grieving young therapist Mariana Andros is drawn back to the idyllic campus where she was once herself a student.

THE GROUP FROM WHICH EACH VICTIM WILL BE CHOSEN.

Because beneath the university’s ancient traditions and beauty is a web of secrets, jealousy and lies. And when the killer threatens the person she loves most, Mariana will give anything to stop them – even her own life…
