Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The two stars only reflect my personal opinion. I am a college student, I usually do not have a problem dabbing into the young adult genre because I still consider myself to be a young adult. However, throughout the entire book I was disinterested. I read it out of the hope that the small promising tidbits of prose would develop and bloom into something beautiful. Unfortunately, that just did not happen for me. In my opinion, it took a lot of what made several other young adult novels unique and borrowed all the ideas. I found it to be very reminiscent of many recently popular books. Furthermore, the characters did absolutely nothing for me. Before I become too brutally honest or petty, I will leave it at this: it just wasn't meant for me. Maybe, however, it just might be meant for younger teenagers who don't expect much from books other than a mercurial, cute guy and social problems in a paranormal school. Or, maybe not.

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.
Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl-a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.
Gillian Shields's electrifying tale will dazzle readers with suspense, mysticism, and romance.
