After defeating the evil at Marlwood Academy, Lindsey finds herself the victim of an unwanted possession by one of the school's ghosts.

Forced to head back to the school to which she swore she'd never return, Lindsey will fight for her life and her sanity. To be victorious, she will need to discover deep, hidden secrets within the school that many want to keep buried - including the evil within.

Can Lindsey save her school, the students, and most of all herself?

A great novel for older reluctant readers. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is intense and very unnerving. Not to be read at night by the faint of heart, those who enjoy horror, paranormal, ghosts, and demons will love reading show more THE EVIL WITHIN after they have read POSSESSIONS. show less
Lindsay has finally gotten away from all the crazy that was Marlwood and it's school for girls. It's summer break! No more teachers, no more books, no more ghosties dirty looks....oh, wait a second. Nope that last one is still lingering. It seems that this summer, Lindsay is not making a clean break from all that has been, nor will she escape it for the immediate future. She still carries the ghost of a former patient by the name of Celia and she has unfinished business that requires Lindsay's immediate attention....or else.

Though at times you may be as confused as our lead character, the story will continually drive you on until you finally reach books end....a small measure of satisfaction and understanding will dawn on you and show more then...you'll have to wait for the next installment. I know I'LL be watching for it...happy reading! show less
Lindsay had hoped to never see Marlwood Academy again. But she is possessed by the spirit of a girl who died there and she must return to settle the unfinished business. This second book is just as creepy as the first. There is a nice mystery and the usual teenage angst amplified by the constant sense of not knowing who she can trust, even her boyfriend. There is a lovely twist at the end. Can't wait to see what happens.
Lindsay though she left Marlwood Academy behind for good. The girls aren't just mean, they're evil-possessed by spirits of the dead. Then Lindsay discovers that she is possessed! Now she must go back to Marlwood to free herself once and for all.

But the secrets of Marlwood run deep....and the evil is much closer than Lindsay knows.
