Intrinsical by Lani Woodland
One thing about my reviews is I do not give a lot of detailed info about the story- because I do not want to ruin it for you. My reviews are mine alone, and are based on if I liked the book, if it was worth picking up, and if it had content that might not be appropriate for certain readers.
If you want more information about a book, feel free to email me anytime-I'd be happy to tell you more.
Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living.
Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life.
However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.

I really liked this book, although iritated at times-all in all it was an interesting book, and I looked forward to a sequel which after a year still has not come out, but I heard it would be later this year? Look for this at your library or borrow from a friend.

Some violence and intense moments, little risk but some talked about.
