Reading Level: Young Adult
(3 out of 5)
Evie Johnson is sent to Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies when her grandmother is put in a nursing home and her father is in the army. Wyldcliffe is housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming.
When Evie gets to the school she finds that the teaching is strict, the students are snobbish, and the oppressive atmosphere leaves her feeling lonely. Her only lifeline is Sebastian who she meets by chance. Soon she is sneaking out to see him every night but something about him doesn't add up. Evie is haunted by a ghostly girl that looks a lot like her. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of the past and present that she cannot control.
What I liked about this book is that the chapters alternate between Evie and the diary of Agnes. Evie is in the present while Agnes lived in the past. Of course I'm pretty sure there will be a second book because everything doesn't get resolved at the end but I couldn't find any information about a second book.

Just finished this book last night. Wonderful...I was up to 2:30 in the morning. I could not stop reading. And just like you, I don't know how I am going to wait for the next one. Thanks for the recommendation.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I seem to have a knack for picking really good books that are series books and the next one never comes out fast enough. I have spent many a nights staying up way past my bedtime.
