Summary
Welcome to Blythewood.
At seventeen, Avaline Hall has already buried her mother, survived a horrific factory fire, and escaped from an insane asylum. Now she's on her way to Blythewood Academy, the elite boarding school in New York's mist-shrouded Hudson Valley that her mother attended - and was expelled from. Though she's afraid her high society classmates won't accept a factory girl in their midst, Ava is desperate to unravel her family's murky past, discover the identity of the father she's never known, and perhaps finally understand her mother's abrupt suicide. She's also on the hunt for the identity of the mysterious boy who rescued her from the fire. And she suspects the answers she seeks lie at Blythewood.
Vivid and atmospheric, full of mystery and magic, this romantic page-turner by bestselling author Carol Goodman tells the story of a world on the brink of change and the girl who is the catalyst for it all.

"...a beautifully told fantasy, ripe with magic, forbidden love and unspeakably dark forces...a journey well worth taking." (Kirkus)
"...a treat for lovers of the gothic." (Booklist)

Enjoyable story
I enjoyed the books and mostly liked the performance but the attempted accents made my toes curl!

Disappointing
I’ve read this authors books before and enjoyed them. This however was utterly dismal. The monotone and droning intonation of the reader and the shocking attempts at accents made it unbearable. The writing itself too disappointed - repetitive use of language and poor visual imagery left me cold. I could not finish it and deleted it. What a waste of a credit.
