Drowned In Her Darkness (The Valmont Elite Academy #1) by Inkedbyja

Leaving home for Valmont Elite Academy was supposed to be freedom. My first choice. A chance to step out of my family's shadow and finally become who I was meant to be. But then I met her. A storm wrapped up in skin, with eyes that saw too much and a touch that burned deeper than fire. The closer I got, the more I realized nothing at Valmont was what it seemed- and neither was she. Because drowning in her darkness doesn't feel like falling. It feels like fate

The Destined by sophaltara

Three girls attend a boarding school where they expect nothing more than to have a normal eighth-grade year. That would have been the case, if it wasn't for the hauntingly dark task the headmaster sets for them to complete.

The Nightmare Society by cassreads

Spencer Nyxwell doesn't fit anywhere. Not in Ashthorne, not in public school, not even in her own skin. She's a witch with powers she can't control and a bloodline her mother refuses to explain. When her temper sets her principal's car on fire, she's sent to Nightwell Academy, a school where monsters, witches, and outcasts are locked away from the rest of the world. Nightwell is supposed to keep her safe. Instead, it drags her straight into a nightmare. Students vanish. A portal splits open in the woods. Spencer rips a seventh grader out of a world that feeds on fear, only to discover her own father might be trapped inside it. The Society swears they're protecting the school from the Nightmare World. Their leader, Jake, wants her to join them. But their power feels more like worship than sacrifice, and the closer she gets, the more the shadows crawl.
