Synopsis

"A Juicy Creep-A-Thon. . .Builds To A Suprising Cliffhanger Ending." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)

At first, it sounds like the answer to a parent's prayers: an elite boarding school in the Oregon mountains where wayward kids turn their lives around. But behind the idyllic veneer lie disturbing rumors of missing students and questionable treatments.

"A Nail-Biting Roller-Coaster Ride." –Library Journal

Jules Farentino knows her half-sister, Shaylee, has been going off the rails lately. She's just not sure Blue Rock Academy is the answer. Accepting a teaching position there lets Jules keep an eye on Shay, but also confirms her fears. One student is found hanged, another near death. Something sinister is at hand--and Jules may already be too late to stop it.

"The Book's Ending Will Throw Most Readers For A Loop." --The Free Lance-Star

As a brutal snowstorm sweeps in, cutting off the remote campus from the rest of the world, Jules will discover the Academy's dark secrets, and confront a murderous evil without limits, without remorse, without mercy. . .

About this title

About the Author:

Lisa Jackson has been writing romantic fiction for fifteen years. Over sixty of her books have been published and reprinted in more than a dozen foreign languages. A single mother, she is a native of Oregon, where she still resides with her two teenage sons. Lisa is often asked what is the key to her success, and her unfailing answer is a keen imagination, incredible friends, loving family, and always, loads of laughter. As Oscar Wilde is purported to have said, "Life is too important to be taken seriously."

From AudioFile:

With precise diction and natural pacing, Angela Dawe highlights the emotional drama of the two young Farentino sisters, Jules and Shay, who are dealing with the murder of their father during a home invasion. Dawe's clear, steady narration style contrasts well with the diverse cast of young characters. Tensions mount at the isolated boarding school in Oregon where Shay is sent as an "at-risk" teen and where Jules obtains a teaching position. First, Jules uncovers a cult; then a body is found. Dawe's delivery is engaging as she compels attention to the details in the sinister plot. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
