Liv, Forever

By: Amy Talkington

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

A chilling new YA story from debut author Amy Talkington.

When Liv Bloom lands an art scholarship at Wickham Hall, it's her ticket out of the foster system. Liv isn't sure what to make of the school's weird traditions and rituals, but she couldn't be happier - especially when Malcolm Astor, fellow artist and scion of one of the school's original families, starts falling for her. Fellow scholarship kid Gabe Nichols warns her not to get involved with a "Wicky," but things are finally going Liv's way, and all she wants to do is enjoy it.

But Liv's bliss is cut short when she is viciously murdered. In death, she discovers that she's the latest victim of a dark conspiracy that spans 150 years and many, many lives. Gabe, cursed with the ability to see ghosts, turns out to be Liv's only link to the world of the living.

Liv must rely on Gabe's help to prove to Malcolm that she's still present - lingering with the other spirits. Then together, Liv, Gabe, and Malcolm must fight to expose the terrible truth that haunts the halls of Wickham before more lives are lost.

A surprisingly good ride!

I was not expecting such a fun / good story! The story took a twist I was not expecting but the author unraveled the story well. A good ghost story! Narrator did a good job with the characters, also.

Quite nice!

It was a nice book! The setting is to my liking and the characters were interesting, it was spooky enough to grab you without being too graphic, i can see a wide variety of readers being interested in this title. The romance evoques old stories and was nice as well.

Read this when I was in high school

Finally got the chance to hear this story again. It speaks to me in so many ways. This is my favorite book of all time. I cried in the last chapter haha

Good

I loved the story. It was the perfect amount of supernatural. My only complaint the narrator was very nasal and it drove me nuts.

A Must Read!

It definitely was not what I expected but I really enjoyed it! A good blend of the supernatural, mystery and thriller. The main character could be a bit annoying at times but that fit well with her age and added to her character development along with the other two main characters.

I also enjoyed references to other time periods and subtle nods to great artists and their works. Definitely recommend and will probably make my children read it one day!
