A trio of students fall foul of murder at a failing, Gothic university off the South Coast of England.

****

My real name is Sharon, but at Gravelake Academy, where the lowest achieving undergraduates and England's louchest and laziest rich kids end up, I am Kitty. Kitty May Carrington, as good and as bad as the rest of them. 

I never expected that Autumn Term of 1987 to turn out the way it did. I never expected to meet Blane and Sol, boys from the right side of the tracks but the wrong side of morality, or those cloying mature students, Frank and Rita. I never expected a simple Creative Writing module to become so insidiously dark and dangerous - or to end in death.

I only wanted to escape my past, but it turns out both the present and the future are infinitely more terrifying.All Rights Reserved

Solasta Academy: All Hallows Eve by chloblla

Two weeks have passed since the night Calia Nox almost died, and she's ready to go back to Solasta Academy. She wanted to forget that she was the object of a psychopathic killer, and he killed many of her classmates to get her attention. Calia wanted to be able to move on, but other dangers were lurking in the shadows. The Book of the Damned was stolen from Ambrosia's archives and definitely in the wrong hands. And there's the whole situation of her biological father. Even so, she and her friends are preparing for All Hallows Eve--the one night in the year when the veil between the living and dead is thinned. Throughout the four Kindoms, their rulers have planned numerous celebrations for the special night. However, no one would expect someone to open the gates to Hazelthorn---the spirit realm---or the dead to haunt the living. To hurt and kill them. Calia and her friends must fight the ghosts of their pasts to defeat the ones lurking at their school, ready to strike at any time.

"You are mine, Estrellita. You have always been mine," he whispered to the night. "And I tend to take care of what belongs to me. Especially when it comes to you." In the next instant, his lips met mine, drawing away the chill and replacing it with his warmth. The sensation of his skin against mine was like a fire, and my pussy throbbed, ignited with desire. I was stirred by the Devil's touch. I was twistedly aroused by the Devil. *** Silent Rivers. Silent Tears. Roaring Courage.

But when suddenly the hunter becomes the prey, who's going to save the hunter? They have only one clue. A common pattern. A cryptic message, "Devil."

Yet, as Ana navigates through the complexities of justice, she finds herself entangled in a chilling game. A stalker, equally compelling and dangerously enigmatic, emerges from the shadows. Despite the alluring warmth of Lorenzo, Ana remains haunted by the chilling presence of the Devil, her relentless and fearsome stalker. Who is the "Devil"? A psycho killer with a mind of intelligence or a victim seeking revenge? If so, then who's next? As Anastasia finally confronts the darkness lurking in her community, another web of truth thrives.
