Vol. 1: Morning Glory Academy is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country... but something sinister and deadly lurks behind its walls. When six gifted, but troubled, students arrive, they find themselves trapped and fighting for their lives as the secrets of the academy reveal themselves!
Vol. 2: Collecting the second story arc of the smash series in one volume. Learn (some) of the secrets in the Glories' lives as we delve into their pasts and see how it affects their present. Each chapter focuses on a different Glory while maintaining the narrative and moving the mystery forward.
Vol. 3: The critically acclaimed, smash-hit series rolls on with this collection of the blockbuster third arc, "P.E.!" The first days were just the beginning — when the faculty cancels classes and sends the students on an outing in the nearby woods, all hell breaks loose, sending the Glories on a mysterious journey through time and space. Nothing is what it seems to be as Academy's hold on the kids collapses and new threats emerge!
Picked these volumes up on a whim at the library and am so glad I did. This series is just amazing. I've heard it described as Gossip Girl meets Lost and that's a pretty apt description. We get all the drama of high school, but coupled with a bigger mystery and lots of deception. I sped through the first three volumes. By the end of the third volume, I'm still super lost as to what's really going on, but I'm enjoying the journey. Now I need to return to the library and grabbed the next couple of volumes...
