"Curious Tides" by Pascale Lacelle combines a fantasy world with a moon-based magic system with the eerie vibes of dark academia. Emory seems to be a mediocre healing student at a prestigious magical academy until a terrible tragedy leaves her as the sole survivor among a group of her classmates. Now, she finds herself possessing strange, intense, and dangerous abilities. Lacking anyone else to trust, she turns to her reclusive classmate Baz to help her uncover more about her powers and the secret society her dead classmates were involved in. As things get more complicated, and the society finds out about her powers, she'll be drawn into their world — and she might not be able to escape.
