Summary: A spookily thrilling novel in a new series
Review: Megan has never met her grandmother on her mother's side of the family - she has always been a distant figure. Now Megan is travelling to Scarborough House to spend some time with her. The house is old and creepy, as is her grandmother. Her cousin Matt takes an instant dislike to her and tries to get her to leave. The house has started the dreams again too - dreams of the house that she has never visited until now. Hidden in the past is a secret that will tear Megan apart - or give her a peace she never knew she craved.

This is one of the best books that I read in 2001. It is an incredible mix of fantasy, mystery, and thriller and will appeal to a wide range of tastes because of that mix. All of the characters are well written and draw you into their world. Some of the things that happened in this novel were down right creepy, and the twist at the end was rather unexpected. If you like this book then you have got to read the next one in this series.

If you like this book you should try reading Margaret Peterson Haddix and Nancy Werlin as they write somewhat similar books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very well done
Review: Megan's grandmother disowned her daughter (Megan's mother) when she married a man of another race. The sixteen-year-old has never met her maternal grandmother until she was recently summoned by the matriarch to come to her Scarborough House in Maryland. When Megan arrives, she finds her relative is disagreeable and inhospitable. Her cousin by adoption, Matt wants Megan to leave. However, what upsets Megan the most is that she has seen this home in her dreams for years.

Over time, strange events occur such as objects moving themselves and Megan seeing a teenage ghost. Megan feels that sins of the past are being held accountable in the present. She learns the ghost is Avril, who died sixty years ago and looks identical to Megan. As more weirdness happens, Megan accepts reincarnation as she readies herself for an attack by an unknown enemy.

Elizabeth Chandler has written an engrossing young adult romantic suspense in which the paranormal elements are tightly intertwined into the plot. This adds to the excitement and feel of pending doom. Teens will admire Megan for her feistiness and independence. Ms. Chandler provides teens with an entertaining, exhilarating tale that will send the audience seeking more works from the author.

Summary: A supenseful thriller that had me on the edge of my seat.
Review: Sixteen-year-old Megan resents her grandmother, who disowned Megan's mother for marrying a man of another race, and who does not think of Megan and her brothers as her grandchildren because they were adopted. But at her grandmother's request, she has come to spend two weeks at her mother's childhood home, a large house in the Maryland countryside. When she arrives, she immediatley recognizes the house from her dreams - even though she had never been there before, or even seen a picture of it. Now that she is at the house, the dreams intesify, even to the point of her sleepwalking. Then Megan discovers the story of her great-aunt Avril, who died at age sixteen. The death was suspicious, and some people in the town still suspect she was murdered. Soon, Megan begans to dream that she is Avril, and then she begins to wonder if she is in fact Avril reincarnated. With the help of her cousin by adoption, Matt, who may be a reincarnation of Avril's lost love, Megan sets out to find the truth - before she dies in this life as well. I reccomend this book to teens who enjoy mysteries and thrillers. I can't wait to read the next Dark Secrets book.
