Where Sleeping Girls Lie is the second novel from best-selling author Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé.
This was a mistake, the voice in her head whispered. You should never have come…
Sade Hussein is the new girl at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy. She has no idea what to expect of her mysterious new boarding school – an institution steeped in tradition and secrets. But she certainly didn’t imagine her roommate, Elizabeth, to go missing on her first night. Or for people to think Sade had something to do with it.
Suddenly everyone is talking about Sade, including the Unholy Trinity: the three most popular girls at school. Swept up in their circle, Sade can’t shake the sense that there’s more to Elizabeth’s disappearance – especially as the teachers don’t seem to care.
And then a student is found dead.
It’s clear there’s more to Alfred Nobel Academy and its students than Sade could have imagined – and she must race to uncover the truth. But secrets lurk around every corner and beneath every surface…secrets that rival even her own.
Where Sleeping Girls Lie is set in an elite boarding school. As a huge fan of Dark Academia books we were really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
It is full of characters who give you feels a plenty. Some you love, some make you laugh, and some just give you a bad vibe. The main character of Sade is complex, and it’s interesting to get to know and see her back story unfold as the plot reveals itself.
There are plenty of plot twists which keep the reader engaged and guessing. Faridah also manages to make the boarding school aspects realistic, and you can tell she did her research while writing the story.
