Second Sight

by Kara Sevda

"They say I’m crazy. They might be right. But that doesn’t mean the evil isn’t real. I know it is. I know because it’s already inside me. And it’s growing..."

At an exclusive prep school abroad, Lizzy struggles to stay afloat. Not
only is she failing history class, but both she and her roommate are the subject of vicious bullying from their classmates. It’s almost a relief when the semester ends and she heads off to meet her family for a summer in Tuscany.

"I’m just an ordinary girl. I hate my stepmother, homework, the mean girls at school. I’ve seen some dark things in my life, but nothing has prepared me for this."

There is only one problem. Lizzy, who has a history of psychiatric troubles, is having nightmares. Pretty soon the terror within begins to visit her in the real world.

"I died over two hundred years ago. But I won’t stay gone forever. Now the time has come and I will live again. Inside you…"

As the people closest to her fall victim to the vengeful spirit, Lizzy struggles to make her family around her believe that this time, it’s not all in her head. But in the end, that might be exactly where the spirit wants to be.

About the author

Kara Sevda is the author of the Dune Walkers Trilogy, a mystical romantic adventure for young adults. She is currently collaborating with Pincushion Press on the remaining two books of the Dune Walkers, as well as an exciting new series for more mature audiences. The Second Sex is set in the far future, in a dystopian world where women grew tired of war and seized power from men.

This was a unique YA story about a girl named Lizzy – she is enrolled at this exclusive prep school overseas and all these crazy things happen to her there. She struggles daily to keep her head above water –but when she and her roomie are bullied, its hard . Soon those terror visit her in her dream world and its worse at night—her nightmares take on a brutal quality and comes to life in the daytime and suddenly nothing is what it seems.
I was reminded of the classic teen horror movies but written with a YA spin on it. It is something I would recommend for ages 17+. I am not a horror lover so this was not my cup of tea but the writing was great and the storyline was good. If you love horror books with a good storyline, you will like this.

My rating: 4.3 stars ****
