This debut ghostly romance, set at a sinister boarding school, is “spooky, sexy, strange, and shocking,” says Printz and National Book Award finalist E. Lockhart. When Liv Bloom lands an art scholarship at Wickham Hall, she’s thrilled. The school’s traditions and rituals may be a little strange, but for the first time ever she has her own studio, supplies—everything she could want. Including Malcolm Astor, a legacy student with his own art obsession. Liv’s defenses melt, despite warnings from fellow scholarship kid Gabe Nichols not to get involved with Malcom. But her bliss is doomed; weeks after arriving, Liv is viciously murdered. Gabe, the only one who can see her, is now her sole link to the world of the living. Together, Liv, Gabe, and Malcolm fight to expose the terrible truth that haunts the halls of Wickham.

I love a good haunted boarding school as much as the next person. Actually probably more than the next person. Liv, Forever is an adequate example.I spent the first 1/3 or so being a bit fed up with Liv. She's different from all the other girls. You know, the shallow ones. Unlike them, she's artsy. All of her thoughts are dotted with references to famous works of art. Liv's inner monologue could be a great study guide for an Art History 101 course.Then Liv gets murdered and becomes more interesting. I was pretty into the whole ghostly secret society business.
