Book 3 For Real This Time

Wyldcliffe Abbey School for Young Ladies, housed in a Gothic mansion on the bleak northern moors, is elite, expensive, and unwelcoming. When Evie Johnson is torn away from her home by the sea to become the newest scholarship student, she is more isolated than she could have dreamed. Strict teachers, snobbish students, and the oppressive atmosphere of Wyldcliffe leave Evie drowning in loneliness.
Evie's only lifeline is Sebastian, a rebellious, mocking, dangerously attractive young man she meets by chance. As Evie's feelings for Sebastian grow with each secret meeting, she starts to fear that he is hiding something about his past. And she is haunted by glimpses of a strange, ghostly girl—a girl who is so eerily like Evie, she could be a sister. Evie is slowly drawn into a tangled web of past and present that she cannot control. And as the extraordinary, elemental forces of Wyldcliffe rise up like the mighty sea, Evie is faced with an astounding truth about Sebastian, and her own incredible fate.

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a lovey dovey book but I really didnt enjoy this story. I mean, I didn't absolutely hate it..... but I don't know if I will read the two other books in the series. I thought about not even finishing it, but I had failed to finish reading my original book three so I kind of felt obligated to finish this one. 
It really wasn't awful, but it was kind of slow. Maybe it was just kind of a set up for the last two books. And I didnt really like the main character very much. She was pretty over dramatic and needy. That's probably very hypocritical of me to say since this story had a lot of similarities to the Twilight series and Bella Swan and you all know how I feel about those books!! 
So here's to hoping that book four is much better than Book 3 attempts one and two!

You need to write your own book. You've got skills, I know I'd buy it and not just cause I like your excellent taste in shoes!
