RAPTURE
In the midst of a boarding school's demise, a young and naive nun experiences an intense sexual awakening.
Retold through her diary, the secluded school of St. Martin's is falling apart. To make matters worse, a student goes missing, pitting fear and doubt against the school's headmaster. When the headmaster begins exhibiting disturbing behavior, it's up to the nun to protect the last remaining students. Aide arrives in the form of a mysterious priest, whose very presence poses the rawest temptation for the nun. But as winter closes in on the isolated group, an unseen danger takes hold, threatening escape. The nun's final testimony of her affair with a priest and their battle against seemingly true evil will blur the line between cabin fever and a haunting from hell.

I usually don't rate books unless there's something particularly wrong with them. Having known someone related to the author, I was excited to see what was supposedly a lot of fuss surrounding the book. But I wasn't that convinced. While I don't usually mind epistolary novels, this one seemed a little farfetched in that the entries couldn't have been written the way they were had this been an actual diary. Also, there's no mention whatsoever that this is essentially a romance novel. While I don't mind those kinds of novels, I wasn't expecting it in something that I assumed was about paranormal activity. While the premise of the novel was entriguing, the writing is lacking. The main character speaks as if she's from Victorian era London one minute, and modern day suburbia the next. I can't say if I'd recommend it or not. I guess it just depends on what you like.
