Seventeen-year-old
Elliott hasn't slept properly for six months. Not since the accident
that nearly killed him. Now he is afraid to go to sleep. Sometimes he
wakes to find himself paralysed, unable to move a muscle, while shadowy
figures move around him. Other times he is the one moving around, while
his body lies asleep on the bed. According to his doctor, sleep
paralysis and out of body experiences are harmless - but to Elliot
they're terrifying.
Convinced that his brush with death has opened up
connections with the spirit world, Elliott secures a live-in job at one
of England's most haunted locations, determined to find out the truth.
There he finds Sebastian, the ghost of a long-dead servant boy hanged
for stealing bread. He also meets the living, breathing Ophelia, a girl
with secrets of her own. She and Elliott grow closer, but things take a
terrifying turn when Elliott discovers Sebastian is occupying his body
when he leaves it. And the more time Sebastian spends inhabiting a
living body, the more resistant he becomes to giving it back. Worse, he
seems to have an unhealthy interest in Ophelia. Unless Elliott can lay
Sebastian's spirit to rest, he risks being possessed by him for ever,
and losing the girl of his dreams…

waw! Elliott trebuie sa se lupte cu Sebastian pentru propriul lui corp si pentru fata visurilor lui! e foooarte interesant subiectul!!! chiar mi-ar placea sa citesc cartea.
Sincer as citi-o, caci desi coperta nu ma da pe spate povestea pare interesanta.
eu nu pot spune ca ma simt atrasa de acest subiect, dar stiu ca nu e bine sa judeci o carte dupa descriere
Descrierea e buna; adica ma atrage si nu mi se pare plictisitoare.
Sa-si piarda fata visurilor? Ei, asta-i tragic :d
Coperta=super tare; ador silueta aceea iesita dn fum; parca a rfi fumul unei lumanari.
interesanta carte!
mie mi se mai pare ca silueta ar fi si un chip de femeie. ;))
