THE SLOW BURN JUST WENT BOOM 💥
Okay. So.
If you've made it this far, congrats you're officially stuck inside Queen's Crest. No escape. No refunds. Just vibes, trauma, and questionable lighting choices.
I warned y'all the tension was simmering and now the pot's overflowed, babe. Like… BOOM.
---
Let's break it down:
1. Pattern alert.
Y'all think I just toss bodies around for aesthetic? Please. Every disappearance mirrors a specific event from the past. Go back to Chapters 5–7 and actually read between the lines. The clues are sitting there, legs crossed, sipping tea, waiting for someone to notice.
2. This is no longer a teen drama.
We've officially crossed into elite gothic territory. Think Gossip Girl met Stranger Things at a funeral in Milan, both wearing Prada and trauma. You feel me? This is where the story grows teeth. Sharp, glittery ones.
3. Adrian? He's not your hero.
He's unraveling gloriously, painfully, beautifully. I wanted him confused. Angry. Too human for the myth they built around him. He's not losing control; he's realizing he never had any.
4. Amara's quote? "A burial ground for power."
Write that down. Tattoo it. Frame it. That line is the backbone of this book. This is what Queen's Crest is: not haunted, but constructed a place where privilege and bloodlines literally eat their young.
5. And yes… Chapter Twelve.
I've been nice for too long. The gloves are coming off. No one's safe. People you love? Gone. People you hate? Probably worse. This isn't about survival anymore it's about legacy. And legacy always costs blood.

I'll be real writing this chapter felt like ripping a Band-Aid off a wound that never healed. Queen's Crest stopped being "fiction" somewhere around page 200. Now it's a mirror. A pretty, dangerous mirror that makes you ask: what would you do to keep your power?
Also, side note: y'all's DMs? Absolute chaos. I love you for it. Keep sending your wildest theories. I'm over here giggling and taking notes like a villain.
So go ahead. Re-read the clues. Cry for the girls. Side-eye the fathers. Question everyone.
Because Queen's Crest isn't just a school anymore.
It's awake.
And you? You're part of the story now.
