It’s 1895, and after the suicide of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma’s reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she’s been followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence’s most powerful girls—and their foray into the spiritual world—lead to? This book is very interesting-the cover first drew me in and I loved the corset, so I decided to give it a shot. After that I couldn't put it down; it was so interesting and addicting that I was dying to know what would happen next. The plot is exciting, Libba Bray is a genius, slight tension between Kartik and Gemma is somewhat obvious and yet romantic. And just as a bonus, the movie is going to come out in 2010 but that's never soon enough! I'm reading the next book and can't wait to see what happens!**For a quick summary of the book (because you're too lazy to read the book yourself) check out Wikipedia, AllReaders.com and LibbaBray.com.**
