Helpful Score: 1
"In less than a day I had been harassed, enchanted, shouted at, cried on, and clawed. Id been cold, scared, dirty, exhausted, hungry, and miserable. And up until now, Id been mildly impressed with my ability to cope."
At her boarding school in New Zealand, Ellie Spencer is like any ordinary teen: she hangs out with her best friend, Kevin; obsesses over her crush on a mysterious boy; and her biggest worry is her paper deadline. Then everything changes: In the foggy woods near the school, something ancient and deadly is waiting.
I found this book to be quite refreshing for urban fantasy. The main character, seventeen year old Ellie Spencer, is not the usual small or petite heroine that appears in book geared toward the YA age group. Also, the book's events take place in New Zealand and it is chock full of legends and New Zealand vocabulary (there is a glossary in the back of the book) I am hoping for a sequel!
