Persephone "Phe" Archer feels as though she doesn't belong in L.A. any more since her sister's death. She leaves the city to go to Devenish Prep, a boarding school in Shadow Hills, Massachusetts. Her sister, Athena, had written of this place in her last diary entry, and Phe is determined to figure out why.
As Phe snoops around the school and the town, she continues to have dreams about the town and people within, both dead and alive. But the townspeople are odd. Every single one of them. And they might be after her.
This novel's synopsis makes the story sound mysterious and romantic, though it was kind of misleading. The chapters moved at a slow and steady pace, and didn't really pick up until the ending. The characters could have been more developed, and the relationship between Phe and Zach, as well. Overall though, a good read that wasn't as great as I had expected.
