Possessions by Nancy Holder

Blurb: New-girl Lindsay discovers all is not right at the prestigious Marlwood Academy for Girls. Ethereal, popular Mandy and her clique are plotting something dangerous. Lindsay overhears them performing strange rituals, and sees their eyes turn black. It doesn’t help that the school itself is totally eerie, with ancient, dilapidated buildings tucked into the Northern California woods, a thick white fog swirling through campus. There are hidden passageways, odd reflections in the windows at night, and scariest of all is the vast lake rumored to have captured the ghost of a girl who drowned many years ago.

What Lindsay doesn’t yet realize is that Mandy and her cohorts are becoming possessed by spirits who have haunted the school for two hundred years. Spirits who want someone dead...And that someone is Lindsay.

Review: I found this book on that little page at the front of a book that says 'More Books By This Author'. Yes, I do actually look at that page. I had just finished reading the Wicked series Nancy Holder co-wrote with Debbie Viguie, which was also a really cool series, and was looking for a book to read when I remembered this book. Some of it was really spooky and I was like, 'Hell no am I reading this at night!' for those parts but there was also a slightly romantic twist in this book which made me go 'Aw...That was so sweet...', which I loved. When I finished it I was seriously desperate for more and I read the other books in the series (The Evil Within and The Screaming Season) in the same week! Personally, I would never want to read this book in the middle of a huge storm, because it would definitely make me a bit paranoid, but it's a good read and I will definitely be reading more books by Nancy Holder.
