Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living. Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.

I could barely put this book down. I had decided to just begin reading this after it had sat on my computer then my kindle for ages. The plot was interesting, though it seemed to be the usual boy-meets-girl-it-was-meant-to-be type romance with a paranormal twist. I couldn't put it down though I'm not much into romances. It was more than that though. A terrifying curse with a terrifying spirit attached kept things interesting. I enjoyed the family history of Yara, the main character. It wasn't too much but it was just enough. I would totally reread this again and that's saying something. If I want to reread it, it's worth it!
