ARMOR FOR LIARS BY S. E. GROVE
Goodreads Description:
A brilliant girl risking it all to infiltrate
a secret society of enchanters gets unexpected help from one of their
victims—now a vengeful spirit—in this historical dark academia novel by New York Times bestselling author S. E. Grove.
In
a world where magic is drawn from the realm of the dead,
enchanters—always men—go to great lengths to steal it. Voyaging to the
spirit realm, an enchanter will claim a dead woman’s spirit as his own
and make her a servant, a tool for his own magical ends. Enchanters
maintain great secrecy around their practices, so only a wealthy elite
have access to this members of a secret society shrouded within
Commonwealth University, the nation’s premiere institution for the study
of enchantment.
When Sam—the son of islander immigrants of
modest means—dared to use magic to blend into the blueblood world of
Commonwealth, it cost him his life. Now a spirit, he’s determined to
avenge his murder and uncover the secrets of the Cisneros Society from
beyond the grave.
When Sam encounters Clementine Quinn, a young
woman disguised as a male student at Commonwealth, he quickly sees that
Clem is putting herself in grave danger at the school. But as he tries
to warn her of the peril, it becomes clear that his past and her fate
are inextricably entwined. To avenge his murder and prevent hers,
they’ll need to help one another and thereby prove, ultimately, that
friendship and love can transcend everything, even death.

Ohh, I am curious about this book :D I really enjoyed the middle grade trilogy by this author, that came out just over ten years ago. <3 The Mapmakers Trilogy. It was so good. And so I will be giving this one a try :D Worried about how it will end.. Can't be a happy romance ending when one is dead, yeah? Ahh :)
What are you waiting for on this deadly Wednesday?
