Nicely done. Good plotline for very Young Adults with a fascinating premise of channeling deceased geniuses.

Even though I read plenty of YA horror books when I was younger, I never got to read a Lois Duncan book. I'm happy that this was my first and I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of classic gothic horror films like House of Usher and House on Haunted Hill and I loved Lois's writing! There were scary parts, edge of your seat moments, and a twist I never saw coming. Since this came out in 1974, it felt super original for that time and even now I feel like it still holds that originality. I'm excited to watch the movie adaption this month and see how they adapt this eerie story to screen. This is a perfect read for October. :) - R.C.

Não tava esperando muito do livro, mas ele foi bem divertido em todos os sentidos. Gostei muito da ambientação com a escola isolada e da amizade das meninas. O elemento paranormal também foi bem intrigante. única coisa é que tudo foi desenvolvido rápido demaaaais.

Going in, I expected this to be a slightly creepy quick read that I would forget easily. This was not that for me personally, but for the better. Something about the concept of these girls being haunted to complete the work of dead geniuses was extremely compelling to read About and let’s be honest, the dark academia vibes were incredible. Super excited to read more Lois Duncan!
