<\/a>Hallowmere: In the Serpent\u2019s Coils<\/em>\u00a0by Tiffany Trent<\/p>\nMirrorstone Books, 2007<\/p>\n

Available: New<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Corinne Jameson is an orphan, sent by her guardian to a boarding school for girls, in the post-Civil War era. Not all is as it seems, though. The students are peculiar, the teachers are secretive, and Corinne herself is being seduced by dangerous supernatural forces.\u00a0 As girls from the school begin to disappear, s series of incomplete love letters by a monk entangled with a race of vampiric Fey catch Corinne\u2019s attention, and her fascination draws her further into a web of deception and destruction. \u00a0Trent does a good job of painting an ominous and disturbing environment for the story, and creates sense of real unease. A flaw is that readers experience the story only from Corinne\u2019s point of view. Unfortunately, Corrine\u2019s thought processes are opaque and her decisions don\u2019t make much sense. Since almost everyone is trying to keep her from finding out what\u2019s going on, the story may leave readers shaking their heads. \u00a0Still, hints of forbidden love and the strange world of the Fey will appeal to many teen girls, and the abrupt ending will keep Trent\u2019s readers waiting impatiently for the next installment in the\u00a0Hallowmere<\/em>\u00a0series,\u00a0By Venom\u2019s Sweet Sting.\u00a0<\/em>Recommended for public library young adult collections and middle and high school library media centers. Contains: witchcraft, mild kissing, mild violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" **Vault Reviews were posted previously on the main MonsterLibrarian website and are transferred here in an effort to preserve our history.
