Description Conducive To Books Intrinsical (The Yara Silva Trilogy #1)
Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living. Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.

Ive been meaning to read this story for a while. Every time I look at that gorgeous cover, I wonder what the heck took me so long? Many review requests, my own writing Either way, I will remember in the future when a book is calling to me to be read, to drop everything and just read it! I was almost angry with family and friends for pulling me away while reading. I didnt want to stop.Sixteen-year-old Yara is an amazing character. Right from the beginningwhich is breath-holding-ly excitingshe wasRating Clarification: 4.5 Stars (closer to 5)Book quote: I had the feeling that the past I was trying to put behind me wasnt going to go quietly.Books such as Instrinsical reinforce my love for paranormal stories because they strike a delicate balance between creeping me out and creating a suspended reality that I can easily come to believe. I definitely enjoyed this ghost story by Lani Woodland and the entire cast of characters she created were amazing! The writing was beautiful and the flow
This and other reviews can be found on The Psychotic Nerd MY THOUGHTS I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I've had it on my TBR since 2012 and some of those books have been misses rather than hits lately.

Cherie wants to investigate the school's
Intrinsical started out pretty good, even if it was quite predictable.There was some creepy scenes, and Yara seemed like an okay character.Though, as the story progressed, Yara started acting annoying, and moments popped up where all i could think was "really?!"The twist about halfway through the book was quite good, i didn't see it coming. However, shortly after, Yara and Brent started playing volleyball, and i just didn't get why. It wasn't exactly the best time to be messing around. The twist
I LOVED IT!!! Where do I start, this book was awesome. I love, love, love ghost stories. Absolutely my favorite type of paranormal story. Vamps are fun, witches run a close second and were's, eh not so crazy about were stories cause of the dominance thing. When I read about this book I was sooo excited, a ghost story! Yay! But it is YA so that gave me a little hesitation because my luck with YA lately has been real poo. So I purchased the book on my new Kindle, my darling precious (my first
Rating 4.5 stars Such a beautiful haunting tale (plus plenty of swoon worthy moments). Full review coming.Thank you Alexa for sharing your copy. You are the best!
Actual rating: 3.5 starsYara is a sixteen-year-old Waker - she comes from a long line of Brasilian women who can communicate with ghosts and apparently astral project. After moving to a boarding school with a wierd reputation, she saves the life of a boy named Brent and from there everything goes right and wrong at the same time! As usual, I don't want to write any spoilers, so I'll just say what I did and didn't like. The story was really interesting and the writing was great. Brent is a
