The brand new series from Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch


Illumen Hall is an elite boarding school. Tragedy strikes when the body of a student is discovered at their exclusive summer party - on her back is an elaborate tattoo of a magpie.

When new girl Audrey arrives the following term, running from her own secrets back home in America, she is thrown into solving the case. Despite her best efforts to avoid any drama, her new roommate Ivy was close to the murdered girl, and the two of them can't help but get pulled in.

The two can't stand each other, but as they are drawn deeper into the mystery of this strange and terrible murder, they will discover that something dangerous is at the heart of their superficially perfect school.

Welcome to The Magpie Society.

One for Sorrow will be told via the alternating first person perspectives of the lead characters Audrey - written by Amy - and Ivy - written by Zoe - with the narrative being jointly plotted by both authors.

Book is fabulous

I loved this book. It was very interesting. The Story line was awesome. I hope there is a book 2. really enjoyed

I AM SHOCKED. You have to listen!

I had never read Zoe’s books before because they seemed to be more for kids. But when I heard she was coming out with a different type of book with a friend, Amy, I was intrigued. Let me tell you if you chose to just read this book instead of listen YOU ARE MISSING OUT. The production of this audiobook is amazing. Especially when they introduce the podcast. Chills ran down my spine!!! Can’t wait for the next one.

SPOILER ALERT KINDA. Read ahead if you dare.

The only thing I really wish was different in terms of storyline was I wish we hadn’t found out about who was producing the podcast until the end or even not at all. The secret podcast was so gossip girl and really my favorite part of the book until we found out who it was. I also found the book was going too fast at times and I wish they had taken their time doing things. But that just might be me! I love listening to 16hr books!

Captivating!

Dark, Gothic, suspenseful, and you just won't want to put it down. The voices were distracting from time to time due to the accents blending when Ivy would speak during an Audrey chapter and vice versa. However the story is one that will leave you longing for the next book. Two For Joy can't come soon enough!

Can't wait for Book 2!

I really enjoyed this book I took my time reading it because I didn't want it to end Zoe you're an amazing writer and I look forward to the next.

Really good book!

I originally bought this book just to support Zoe but am I glad I did! It was captivating throughout. There was a part that seemed like a lecture on behavior rather than just the characters genuinely talking but it was a good lesson to learn nevertheless. There were many twist and turns and the book will definitely keep you on your toes!
