Blurb:
Kemper Academy is over a hundred years old, but it has only recently reopened after a series of murders and stories of hauntings shut it down. Avlynn, a new student, refuses to let the rumors scare her, chalking them up to a bit of friendly freshman hazing. But when night falls and screams draw her from her room, she finds the truth is much more horrifying than any ghost story.
My Thoughts:
This is the perfect treat to read leading up to Halloween. Avlynn is telling us our scary story. Her story reminds me of the sleepovers we
used to have at summer camp. I can
picture reading this story around the campfire.
We get the perfect ending for this story but I felt that it was cut
short. I want to know what happens to
our narrator once this story concludes.
Expect to have this book finished in no more than an hour – if you read
real slow.
It’s listed as a horror book but I’ve read some that are much more
frightening so adults may find it a little tame but for the teen in your life
this may be just right – but don’t expect any nightmares. I’m not one that likes to have something
that’s going to scare my socks off so this is just perfect for me. Maybe you have an older home like me and
sometimes the stairs creak at night.
What a perfect background noise or maybe even better is to put on a
Halloween record as you read. Just don’t
expect the ending to bring any closer to the story. To me it felt open ended.
