Even though this was written for teen girls, it was a fun listen for a nearly half-century age girl too. Emma Doyle, who was brought up in India, finds herself sent to Spence Academy in London (an all girls school) after tragedy takes the life of her mother. Alone and miserable, Gemma soon finds herself able to tap into a mysterious supernatural power and becomes entangled with some of the most powerful girls at the school and discovers her mother's connection to a shadowy, timeless group called the Order. It is a bit of a ghost story that is set in the Victorian times that will have you wanting to read the rest of the series..
Putting this in the Earreading Audiobooks on Cassette Bookbox.
Snagged from the audiobook box.
Not at all what I expected, but a pretty good listen! I am on the list for yet another audio book box, so this is going to be set aside to go in.
This found its way to Hawaii in my audio bookbox; I'll try to find a new home for it..or I might listen to it first since it seems to be well recommended.
Going to another bookcrosser at our pre-WBN get-together.
