First, let me say, I like this cover much better than the one showing up in Edelweiss.
Livy's best friend has died from leukemia and Livy is having a hard time accepting it and moving on. When her father gets a new job as a librarian at a prestigious school, Livy is accepted on scholarship. She dreads going and making new friends but is intrigued by the history and statues. She feels drawn to the rooftop and feels so light and free up there. Maybe it is because the blood of the school's founder runs in her veins. But something strange is going on - there is a mystery of a lost boy, alchemy, and the study of gravity. Can Livy keep herself and her brother safe from the strange goings on?
I was intrigued pretty early on. There was some good creep factor and Livy's struggles were tangible. But it got lost along the way for me and it seemed like for all its length there was no real development of character. The person who the reader believes is the villain is not and there is a quick shift that I didn't feel had enough to support it. I ended up being a bit disappointed because it started so well.
