Possessions

Review By: Andreley B The setting of my book is an isolated boarding school high in the mountains. The main characters are Lindsay Cavanaugh, who started the school year late after suffering a nervous breakdown in her hometown of San Francisco. Another is Mandy Winters, the "Queen Bee" who has everything but happines. The last three are Julie Statin, Lindsay's roommate, Troy Minear, Mandy's boyfriend, and Kyoko, one of Mandy's many followers. When Lindsay first arrives, she notices strange things happening, such as girls' eyes turning completely black and the girls developing accents, even when they didn't have one to start with. She also notices a white head sitting in Mandy's dormroom window, that is always looking her way. As the story goes on, she realizes that Mandy and six other girls are possesed by the ghosts of seven girls that died there in a fire. Lindsay tries to rescue the other six, not realizing that she may be the one in the greatest danger. She also uncovers many disturbing and terrifying secrets about Marlwood's past. These events all lead up to one night when she goes to one of Marlwood's many condemned building's, and operating theatre, to save Julie, and putting herself in unthinkable danger.

I would recommend this book only if you like truly terrifying stories. It had a great plot and was nearly impossible to put down, but I was afraid to stay home alone for a long time after reading it.The ending and climax were great, and it had alot of detail. Through Lindsay's narration, you learn that things aren't always as wonderful as they seem. If you do like scary stories, I would say it is a great book to read, but you should be prepared for nightmares!
