![]() ![]() With the help of Sarah, the only nice girl at Wyldcliffe Abbey, and Helen, the strange loner, Evie tries to figure out what’s going on. In an unpredictable twist, there’s also a mysterious and exotically beautiful boy with no personality who sneaks around on the grounds at night and has fallen hopelessly in love with Evie for no apparent reason. These visions are connected to the tragic deaths of two young ladies, one of whom grew up in the Victorian age and wisely kept a diary detailing her experimentation with witchcraft. Needless to say, I was astonished when Evie started experiencing strange sensations and hallucinations when she arrived at school. You won’t believe it, but Evie has red hair and a seemingly innocuous silver pendant which belonged to her mother (who was drowned), grandmother, and other maternal ancestors who have some connection to the area around Wyldcliffe Abbey. ![]() They tease Evie for arriving on the train and make discourteous comments when the school mistress announces that Evie is their new “scholarship student.” Surprisingly, there are some severe headmistresses there (coiffed with scraped-back buns) and a clique of mean rich girls. Evie Johnson is a new student at Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, which resides in (you’ll never guess) a gothic mansion on the moors. ![]()
