Grab The Evil Within (Possessions, #2) Expressed By Nancy Holder Accessible In Edition

SOME PARTS OF THE FOLLOWING REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST BOOK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED


Lindsay is now possessed and can feel Celia control her whenever she wants.
She knows she must return to Marlwood in order to free herself and get rid of the spirit.
When she tries to listen to what the spirit tells her must happen, Lindsay knows she can't do it.
Her unwillingness ends up dragging the truth out of the spirits that are fighting for revenge.
There may just be someone else that Celia and Belle need to join together in order to free themselves and the girls they have a hold on.


hmm I'm not sure really what to say about this one, I was really hoping it would live up to the expectations I had for it upon finishing book, but it fell short.
Again, like in the first one there are far too many people to keep track of that are not relevant to the plot.
Even the other spirits of the girls who died seem complete random and don't add to the storyline.
Very little happened in this book for me to really appreciate it, Another think that bothered me again, was the fact that she refers to Troy as her "true love".
They aren't even officially together and they barely know anything about the other person, So I don't think that she really would call him her "true love", This book was just okay, Lindsay learned a couple new things about her possession, but there is still no conclusion, This series could have easily been wrapped up with this book if there weren't so many sidetracked story lines that go nowhere.
I might read the next one eventually, It doesn't come out until the spring and I won't be eagerly anticipating it, but I might pick it up at some point just so I can find out how this ends.
There was nowhere near the level of creepiness that the first book ended on and I was just really disappointed in this novel.


First Line:
"I had escaped, "

Favorite Line:
"Shayna stumbled forward like a Zombie and I had to hurry to keep up.
" If you want a great ghost story, look no further! Nancy Holder has written a nightmare of a tale! Full of hauntings and mystery, you won't know what's coming next, or who to believe.



Second in the series, coming back from Christmas break and picking up where Possessions left off, Lindsay can tell as soon as she walks back into the doors of Marlwood that nobody expected her to show her face there again.
Even though she didn't have all the money and material things the other girls did, Lindsay did have a backbone.
She also had to find Troy, He was still missing and she just couldn't accept that Mandy did something to him, He couldn't be dead somewhere,


When Lindsay does finally get good news that Troy is ok, she gets worse news that now Mandy's brother, Miles is back and now hanging around Marlwood only to be stalking Lindsay, everything gets more complicated.
Let's not forget that Mandy is back to her same yearly rituals of finding a newbie to break in and has found Linz' friend to do it on.
The only person Lindsay can rely on is Troy but he's still dating Mandy, Hmm
Just when you got it all figured out, . .
the ghosts come in and ruin everything, . .
The Evil Within is the second book in the Possessions series, of which I have not read the first however, after completing this one, Ill be picking up the first book and all that follow it.
Nancy Holder has created an incredibly spooky tale full of scorned lovers, murders, attempted murders, ghosts, and of course, possessions.
Holder writes a vividly terrifying tale that overflows with ancient superstitions and mythologies that span the globe.


After a brief holiday break, Lindsay has reluctantly returned to the creepy Marlwood Academy a boarding school with a dark past.
It doesnt take long for Lindsay and the rest of the residents of Marlwood Academy, including the extremely unhappy ghosts that stalk the grounds, to fall back into the swing of things including attempted murders and possessions.
Out of cliques, high school crushes and loves, and general teenage angst, Holder has created strong characters that most teen readers will easily identify with, and spun a dark twist on their interactions with one another.


The Evil Within can be read without having read the first

in the series, but after completing The Evil Within, you will want to go back and read the first just because the second novel was that good.
For those that enjoyed Holders Wicked series, this will be a welcome addition to her growing collection of YA fiction.
Recommended for a school or public young adult collection agesand up,

Contains: mild violence, attempted sexual violence
ed by Kelly Fann 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 then, . . you'll have to wait for the next installment, I know I'LL be watching for it, . . happy reading! OHH MY GOD I NEED THE THIRD BOOK
Again good at keeping interest, not so good at making the characters believable.

I did find Lindsay's spiral into insanity a lot more believable, but as soon as Cynthia told her she needed to kill Mandy, I realized that for some reason, she was evil.
Which now leads me to wonder, if the dybbuk are drawn to people like themselves, why is Cynthia caught inside of Lindsay Although she's been privy to bouts of rage, it doesn't seem like she's evil.
. . at least, not yet.
So I'll read the next one, . . and hopefully enjoy it. Scary, Great, Addictive!

A greatly paced read, i would recommend this along with the first novel, Possessions.
Definitely Worth a look, the description doesn't do the story justice,

The author Nancy Holder has a genuine gift for writing style and pacing, Holder's writing style is simple yet very affective which is rather hard to pull off, It takes a good deal of effort to write in that style, if done wrong it can come across rather messy and lazy.

But you can clearly see she has done wright and had taken the correct path as you can plainly tell when reading that a lot of time was put into this novel.
You can tell by the way it's built up page by page, no lazy half heart attempt at writing here.


Now the books Possessions and The Evil Within wont become classics as the story isn't all to original but giving credit to where it's due: i find these books to be good and interesting quick reads.
Would recommend when traveling to pass the time etc,
x The Evil Within A Possessions Novel by Nancy Holderofstars,
To be released June,

When Lindsay returns to eerie Marlwood Academy she is haunted by the past, literally.
The ghosts of those done wrong in the time when Marlwood was a reformatory for willful girls are breathing down her neck.
Those that are very real to her seem just as malevolent as the spirits who haunt them, but when Celia, the girl now possessing Lindsay, tells her what she must do to extricate herself and the others from these spirits, she isn't sure she can go through with it.


Doubt and simple human nature crowd her at every turn as she struggles to decide what is right, who is and who isn't possessed, and better yet who is trying to kill who.
It isn't the nineteenth century anymore and Lindsay must find a way to set the past to restone way or another.


The Evil Within is a thrilling modern gothic full of surprises and chills on every page.
Nancy Holder depicts a ghostly tale with a remarkable heroine, If you're a fan of gothic fantasies like the Gemma Doyle Trilogy and Michelle Zink's Prophecy of the Sisters you'll love this!

I could barely put the book down once I picked it up.
I haven't even read the first Possessions Novel and I was still thoroughly engrossed, Nancy Holder has a fascinating way of writing that draws you into a story right from the start.
The main character Lindsay's struggle to understand all of the past circumstances that are now shaping her life was completely unpredictable.
Just as soon as I thought I had it all figured out, things would change, I enjoyed the other characters and how there ended up being more to them than I had originally expectedeven the ghosts.
I honestly don't think there is a single bad thing I can say about this book, though I do wish the ending hadn't been quite so abrupt.


From the characters to the writing style this delicious modern gothic is sure to be a favorite with most all dark fantasy lovers.
Whether you're like me, and can't stand the music they play on shows like Unsolved Mysteries and have never picked up a "ghost like" book in your life, or are a real horror junky, I think you'll adore this book just the same.


For fans of: Nancy Holder, Gemma Doyle Trilogy, Prohpecy of the Sisters, Devil's Kiss

by Arya A Sea of Pages sitelink blogspot. com lt The Cliches Evil Within was even worse than Possessions,

I have never read a sequel being so SAME as the first book, Only little details are changed, We have Lindsay not wanting to come back to Marlwood Academy, drooling over Troy, lots of cliched spirit stuff, Mandy being a Mean Girl, lots of parties in the freakiest of places, Lindsay having nightmares, Lindsay running to the lake, Lindsay spending evenings in the old library, Lindsay having a run in with opposing spirits in the end of the book which suddenly ends and she wakes up in the hospital and we don't get a single satisfying explanation as to how things played out.
