Really good book to read and I recommend it to anyone who likes mystery books. I am currently reading the other books of the series. I hope you read it.

I like that their mother was in a secret club called the Whispers in the Walls. Scarlet was stomping around and raging the whole time about Violet because they are enemies. I love this series of books and want to read them all!

I love how Ivy is starting to figure out more about her sister, Scarlet, and their relationship is so complex. They’re both dealing with their own struggles, but their bond is really special. The mystery itself is super engaging—just when I thought I had it figured out, there was another twist that threw me off completely. The whole book is full of surprises and tense moments that keep you on edge.

This is the second book in the Scarlet and Ivy series, and it’s even more exciting and mysterious than the first one! Scarlet and Ivy are finally back together at the creepy old school, but everything is still weird and suspicious. There are secret passages, creepy teachers, and strange messages — it gave me chills in a good way! I love how brave and clever the twins are. They don’t give up, even when people try to stop them. I liked seeing how different they are but how much they care about each other. The mystery kept me guessing the whole time, and when I found out the truth... WOW!
