Lauren Myracle
Lauren Myracle brings her keen understanding of teen dynamics to a hypnotic horror story of twisted friendship. When Bliss’s hippie parents leave the commune and dump her at the home of her aloof grandmother in a tony Atlanta neighborhood, it’s like being set down on an alien planet. The only guide naïve Bliss has to her new environment is what she’s seen on The Andy Griffith Show. But Mayberry is poor preparation for Crestview Academy, an elite school where the tensions of the present and the dark secrets of the past threaten to simmer into violence. Openhearted, naïve Bliss is happy to be friends with anyone. That’s not the way it has ever worked at Crestview, and soon Bliss is at the center of a struggle for power between three girls—two living and one long dead.

"I loved the book all the way through. But when it came to the very last chapter it left me hanging, the plot of the book wasn’t resolved at all. But however I do recommend this book %100. It has been one of the best books I have read in awhile!"

"If you want a spoiler then you'll have to read someone else's review. I had high hopes for this book thinking there would be a "Carrie" like twist to the book but instead the author parallels the story with the Charles Manson murders. Mix in Andy Griffen flashbacks and a demonic being trying to rise itself from the dead and there is potentially a good story. The author had me until the last few chapters. Then the storyline fell apart. Was it necessary for evil to prevail? No. It made the book disappointing in the end and ridiculous to say the least."
