Shy Celia Balaustine is new to Suburban High, but a mysterious group of sophomores called the Rosary has befriended her. Friends aside, Celia soon discovers something is not quite right at Suburban. Girls at the school begin having near-fatal accidents on the eve of their sixteenth birthdays. Who is causing the accidents, and why? As Celia's own birthday approaches, she is inexorably drawn into an underground conflict between good and evil—the Kind and the Unkind—that bubbles beneath Suburban High. Plentiful references to music and art—along with the intriguing underworld mythology—make this supernatural series debut a page-turner.

      Gr 9-11-Celia Balaustine, a new sophomore at Suburban High, has been adopted by a group of seniors, the Rosary, who pride themselves on being "the ones who know," and they wear black, caravan in cars, and hang out at Diaboliques, a Goth nightclub. But something is seriously amiss at school: on the day before their 16th birthdays, girls who are sexually innocent are having accidents or taking ill. Celia begins to suspect that there is a curse, and her chem lab partner, Mariette, a fledgling Kind, takes her into her confidence: an Unkind is attempting to gain power by killing one of the young women. Readers who enjoy paranormal stories that include a bit of mystery will appreciate this first novel as they will be caught up in the suspense. Others might find the plot moves too slowly. References to alternative rock music, art, and literature add a touch of sophistication.-Karen Alexander, Lake Fenton High School, Linden, MI

      When Celia is befriended by the Rosary, an exclusive group of upperclassmen, it seems that her new high school experience will be a smooth one. That is, until it becomes apparent that there is something disquieting on campus, and it is targeting virgins once they turn sixteen. Might Celia have the ability to stop it? A macabre and grim paranormal mystery.
