Immortal by Gillian Shields
Immortal is a slight echo of Everynight by Claudia Gray and Evermore by Alyson Noel.
Many plots arise but they easily mingle into one. The characters are intriguing and as the story develops they become well developed and interesting.
The boarding school, Evie is sent to is mysterious and as she becomes aware of the secrets hidden beneath the wall of the school, she learns about herself and her own unique family history.
This is a simple, easy, fast read. Enjoyable and entertaining.
Expect a cliffhanger ending.
Grade: B+
Synopsis [B&N]
Welcome to Wyldcliffe, the place that haunts my present, my past, and my future.
Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn from her home near the sea to become the newest scholarship student, strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave her drowning in loneliness.
Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a mysterious and attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian blaze with each secret meeting, she begins to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. As the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.
