I almost gave up on this book in the first few chapters. It wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I had imagined that this would be a book about three young girls, growing up in a boarding school. I imagined a little love story, maybe a little drama. I had no idea what I was getting into. Don't get me wrong, once I let my expectations go, I loved it! This book is not about boarding school. Its not your average love story. This books is filled with mystery. Glenallen is a mystical place, filled with folk lore and legends.

If you are looking for a haunting tale with lots of mystery and irish folklore, get this book!
