From School Library Journal

Grade 6-9?Jessie meets Marina, a strange and beautiful surfer who possesses a kind of mesmerizing power over her, coaxing abilities out of her that had been hidden before. Jessie's friend Nick Stieveson knows with frightening certainty that Marina is an immortal who plans to exact a terrible revenge on him, just as she has done with every generation of the Stieveson men since his great-grandfather. In this well-written thriller, the secondary characters sustain the framework, providing background information that explains the events. The cover art will appeal to teens attracted by the horror genre. And once inside the taut and evocative story, readers will become immersed in the ultimate challenge of good v. evil.?Jana R.
