Oxford Blood by Rachael Davis-Featherstone (Paperback)

Oxford Blood is a YA thriller that blends mystery, suspense, and the pressures of elite academia. Eva, a high-achieving student, dreams of studying English at Oxford, fulfilling both her own ambitions and her mother’s expectations. Gaining a place would also give her freedom from her overprotective father, Inspector Dawkins.

Her best friend, George, shares the same goal. Their mutual attraction is undeniable, but they’ve agreed to postpone romance until their places at Oxford are secured. When interview week arrives, Eva is on the verge of achieving everything she has worked for.

Tragedy strikes when George is found dead. Though authorities dismiss it as an accident, Eva suspects foul play, especially as other candidates’ strange behaviour raises alarm. Worse, a shocking secret about George threatens to shift suspicion onto her.

As Eva navigates the cutthroat world of Oxford, she discovers hidden clues on OxSlay, an anonymous forum full of conspiracy theories and gossip. Every discovery brings her closer to the truth but also places her in greater danger.

Oxford Blood is a gripping tale of ambition, secrets, and survival, where trust is scarce and every decision can be life-altering. Eva must unravel the mystery behind her friend’s death, protect herself, and outsmart those determined to keep the truth buried.
