Allie Sheridan is a student at the boarding school Cimmeria. With the high level of security at the school, Allie should feel safe but she is far from it. Her best friend has been murdered and the killer is still out there, waiting for his chance to infiltrate the school again, taking Allie with him this time. When Allie learns there is a spy within the school and that someone she knows is helping the killer, she and a select group of friends work together to try to unmask them.
Fracture is the third book in the Night School series, with another on the way next year. As this was the first I have read, I wasn’t always clear on what had happened previously or how certain organisations worked, but most things were cleared up as the book went along. I wasn’t sure how well I would pick up the story after diving into the middle of a series without any prior knowledge, but I quickly found myself immersed in the story and was swept along with the drama. I thought the story was an interesting one, with lots of action as well as a bit of a love conflict between Allie and two of her friends, Carter and Sylvain.
My favourite character in the book was Allie’s friend, Zoe. She is younger than the others, but she is feisty and brave as well as loyal. I thought Fracture was a well written and face-paced book with a great set of characters and I’d be interested to see what happens next.
