Publisher's summary

Towering Pines, Volume One: Room 509 is the story of a teenage basketball star who feels his life is over when he is sent to military school to commute an aggravated assault charge. Liam Rider's star quickly falls, as he finds military school to be far more than he had bargained for. He finds the cadets harsh and abrasive; and the staff less than welcoming. When the guidance counselor tells him that he is going to be held back a year because of his remedial classes at public school, he feels like life couldn't get any worse.

When he meets Lisbeth Harrington, he feels like the tide may be turning in his favor. She is assigned to help him acclimate to his new surroundings in the middle of a semester, and he quickly realizes that she is the only friend he has at the school. And when he begins having disturbing dreams of kids killing each other and seeing people in his room that aren't really there, he enlists her help to find out why no one has been assigned to room 509 for 20 years - and why he is being tormented by the ghosts of cadets past. Suddenly pulled into the past of the historic school by nightmares of his own suicide, Liam and Lisbeth are catapulted forward into a secretive society of a long history of ghosts, suicide, and murder.

Can they solve the mysteries of the military school before Liam becomes the next victim of the ghostly murderer? Or will the administration and cadets conspire against them to their ultimate demise?

Not really my thing, but it's good

The story is good, if you're into this type of book. Mystical stuff is not my bag, so it wasn't a great fit for me personally. But I'll say that it's well written, the characters are developed very well. You feel for the the protagonist and his plight. The romantic angle is played out well. The narrator was fine. He did justice to the material.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
