Review :
With a shock slow-burning reveal at its core, it's also an uplifting story of survival and hope. The slow-burn mystery, imbued with a terrible sense of menace, is worth every page Dark academia fans, this novel is for you. Where Sleeping Girls Lie seductively blends the irresistible camp of Mean Girls with the propulsive campus whodunnit of Wednesday and the vigilante thrill of Promising Young Woman. Àbíké-Íyímídé is an incisive force - and a total vibe. Flawless mystery. Where Sleeping Girls Lie builds with riveting intrigue, peeling back the facade of institutions and exposing the tender beating hearts of the girls trying to survive. Incisive and devastatingly insightful, Àbíké-Íyímídé rends a thriller in which every character is hiding painful secrets from themselves and each other, and true to life, justice is a hard-won thing. Where Sleeping Girls Lie paints an honest portrait of the rage of teenage girls and the catharsis found thereafter. A harrowing mystery about a school festering with rot and a girl ready to walk right into its ugliest depths, with twists that made me gasp out loud. Àbíké-Íyímídé is back with a knife-sharp novel pointed right at the heart of society's darkest corners. A slice of stunning dark academia. Àbíké-Íyímídé employs exceptionally perceptive character dynamics rendered via beautifully twisty prose to deliver a searing indictment of sexual violence and the lengths to which corrupt institutions will go to discredit and silence survivors. Dark Academia at its finest. Powerful, impactful and unforgettable. Slow-burning, relentless and immersive... deftly navigates themes of trauma and trust. Once again, Faridah has delivered a twisty masterpiece that, at its core, defies and challenges oppressive institutions and the powers that be. The best book you'll read all year. With thorny twists and sharp suspense through a dark academia vein, Where Sleeping Girls Lie is undeniably an unmatched YA thriller that takes the crown effortlessly. Unforgettable mystery... This is a story of female rage, girls screaming to be heard and believed. It's brutal and raw yet unflinchingly honest. 5 stars. Packs a powerful punch.
