It’s been years since Amelie abandoned her home to become an elite agent of the Academy.
In its embrace she has found support and stability, but in return the Academy uses her gifts for destruction and control. For ten years, she has chosen to live only for the moment, neither questioning nor considering the motives of her employer. But when Amelie and her pod of fellow agents, “graduate” into becoming strategic operatives, they are spirited off to an isolated island. Here they uncover a labyrinth of deception and lies far more sinister than any they ever imagined, including Verite, a new virtual reality game, in which time has no meaning and your blood holds the keys to your soul.
In the Ghosting Academy, consciousness is currency, morality is shackles and there is no death.
I've been really enjoying The Limerent series and Ghosting Academy is the fourth book in the series that continues the story of Amelie, who we met in Bright Midnights. I think you do have to have read the earlier books in the series to enjoy Ghosting Academy, so I wouldn't recommend reading it as a standalone.
The series takes an even darker turn in this instalment as Amelie and a group of similarly gifted friends graduate through the Academy and take part in a virtual reality game that is scary and dangerous.
I really liked catching up with Amelie again and seeing how she was coping without Clovis (the love of her life). I'm not into gaming at all so I did struggle a bit with the game in the book although I did find it very scary.
LS Delorme has such a vivid imagination that nothing and nobody are what they seem and the story could go absolutely anywhere so it's a book to just sit back and enjoy the incredibly imaginative ride.
Ethereal, scary and mind-bending, Ghosting Academy is pure escapism set in the alternate reality of both our dreams and our nightmares.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
