A handful of students are staying on campus over the Thanksgiving holiday. Of course, this is when things start to happen. One of the students finds a Ouija board and together the group makes contact with a former student at the college, Zachary. From there, things go from bad to worse. I don't want to spoil any part of the plot, but I can say a few things without doing so. It seemed to me that this book peaked too early. The pacing was very good up until about 2/3 of the way through. Then the excitement dropped off and left me somewhat uninterested in the final denouement. Also, though I did like some of the characters, they kind of resembled the kids from The Breakfast Club. We had a slut,a jock, etc. A few of the characters were not fully fleshed out any further than their Breakfast Club monikers. I did like the writing style and the bits of Freud and Jung that were slipped in as part of one student's POV. I also liked the usage of Jewish mythology-something that I was not familiar with at all. I like being introduced to new myths or spiritual beings. All in all, this was a fun read. I would've liked to have the characters be more fully developed and I would've liked the excitement to have lasted all the way to the end and not just to the 2/3 point. Thank you to Ms. Sokoloff for the free read. ( ) Charrlygirl | Mar 22, 2020 |  ) LenaR0307 | May 30, 2016 | Full review to come... BunnyCates | Jul 8, 2015 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Baird College's Mendenhall echoes with the footsteps of the last homebound students heading off for Thanksgiving break, and Robin Stone swears she can feel the creepy, 100-year-old residence hall breathe a sigh of relief for its long-awaited solitude. Or perhaps it's only gathering itself for the coming weekend.As a massive storm dumps rain on the isolated campus, four other lonely students reveal themselves: Patrick, a handsome jock; Lisa, a manipulative tease; Cain, a brooding musician; and finally, Martin, a scholarly eccentric. Each has forsaken a long weekend at home for their own secret reasons.The five unlikely companions establish a tentative rapport, but they soon become aware of a sixth presence disturbing the ominous silence that pervades the building. Are they the victims of a simple college prank taken way too far, or is the unusual energy evidence of something genuine — and intent on using the five students for its own terrifying ends?It's only Thursday afternoon, and they have three long days and dark nights before the rest of the world returns to find out what's become of them. But for now, it's just the darkness keeping company with five students nobody wants and no one will miss. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
