From the cover: Evil -- Kit feels its strange, penetrating chill the moment she sees the ominous mansion looming above her. Soon she finds herself a prisoner in the dark halls of Blackwood, a new, exclusive boarding school for a select group of girls. Left there by her honeymooning mother and new father, Kit finds she is one of only four students -- who unknowingly share one terrifying quality.

Suspenseful and thought-provoking. Author Lois Duncan is queen of the YA suspense genre.

Being a book for YA I thought it was passible, however, I would wait until the YA is about 13 as the content is on a more mature level and might be easier to understand at that age.

I screen books for a YA relative and this one I would hold until the age of 13+

Reading it as an adult I thought it was just okay, it isn't 'scary' or much of a 'thriller' in the sense that an adult would give it a high rating if it was a nail biter but for the YA it would probably be alright

5 stars all the way.
This book was just great. I could not put it down! It has everything, suspense, the scare factor but no gore, no blood, no profanity. Its a YA book, but any adult would love it. The author also wrote, "I Know what you did last summer". I didn't even know that, till I got the book. Lois Duncan is an excellent writer, she has now become one of my favs and I have ordered others books by her, I don't want to miss any now! The ending and the purpose behind the book isn't revealed till much later and was a complete surprise. LOVED IT!

A very interesting book, indeed! A very good read, but was pretty short! I finished it in about two hours, but what a good two hours those were!
