Cozy, fairytale-like story

"I liked the author's style, the story was very easy to read, the chapters weren't too long and there were no spelling mistakes. With that being said, at the end I was left with many questions. For example: what exactly are the main characters - Novalyn, Fable, Rowan, and Theo - studying at Ivybridge Academy? What's the story behind Novalyn's family and what makes her so special the ghost of a lost girl follows her? The story only focuses on those four people, their conversations, and their dorms. Outside of their group we don't get to see or understand why those strange things are happening in the academy. In the beginning, the 'loud silence' was haunting, but with each new chapter its spookiness waned. It's a cozy story, meant to relax the reader, as he or she sits in a book nook with a cup of hot chocolate milk, however, at some point the coziness and lovey-dovey amicality between the four characters began to irritate, as it became insincere and repetitive.
