Nancy Holder’s Possessions series has been an unexpected personal favorite of mine. Her third installment, The Screaming Season, did not fail to disappoint. I wasn’t sure I could possibly enjoy the series anymore than I already did, but I was quite wrong. Of the three books in the series, The Screaming Season is the most intense and action packed, leaving me wide-eyed with a racing heart.
The Possessions series is an incredibly spooky tale full of scorned lovers, murders, attempted murders, ghosts, and of course, possessions. The Screaming Season is no exception, and Lindsay, our heroine, is back on the Marlwood Academy campus, ready to fight of the ghosts that stalk and possess the campus residents. Her biggest challenge now is trying to maintain her sanity and belief in her sanity by her fellow students and teachers, staying alive in the process.
The Screaming Season, in addition to the first two books series: Possessions and The Evil Within are must-haves for libraries’ young adult fiction collections. While these titles are geared toward young adults, adult readers will find them enjoyable as well with a jump-right-in feel to the action. Recommended for school and public young adult collections; ages 14 and up.
