For Liv Bloom, the scholarship to Wickham Hall is the chance
she's been waiting for to focus on her artwork. The rules
and customs at Wickham Hall are a bit restricting and odd,
but Liv is excited to be out of the foster care system. When
Liv meets Malcolm Astor, she even believes she might have a
chance at love. Unfortunately, Wickham Hall hides a deadly
secret and the living residents are not the only inhabitants
there. Gabe Nicholas, another scholarship student, insists
there are ghosts. Will Liv become another Wickham Hall
tragedy or will Liv, Malcolm, and Gabe uncover the dark
conspiracy haunting this prep school?
Honestly, I was a little worried when I started reading LIV,
FOREVER. There was every chance this book could be artsy
and full of angst-two things I abhor. Instead, LIV, FOREVER
is one of the best ghost stories I've ever read! In a unique
twist, the art is essential to the development of the
romance and leaves the reader with an indelible impression
of young love. I love how Amy Talkington tells us the story
of each and every Wicky ghost as we begin to see a dark and
disturbing picture of Wickham Hall emerge.
Amy Talkington does a marvelous job with character
development. Initially, Gabe, Liv, and Malcolm seem quite
stereotypical but as the story unfolds... ah, that is where
the stereotypes shatter into a million pieces. I love seeing
each of them learn to break past the molds set upon them by
society (and Wickham Hall!). Interestingly enough, Wickham
Hall is practically a character in its own right as the
eerie and haunting atmosphere of the setting are just as
integral to the plot as the actual characters themselves.
Secret societies, a conspiracy, ghosts, a murder, and even a
romance- LIV, FOREVER has it all! Amy Talkington crafts a
ghost story that is to die for!
When Liv Bloom lands an art scholarship at Wickham Hall,
it's her ticket out of the foster system. Liv isn't sure
what to make of the school's weird traditions and rituals,
but she couldn't be happier. For the first time ever, she
has her own studio, her own supply of paints. Everything she
could want.
Then she meets Malcolm Astor, a legacy student, a fellow
artist, and the one person who's ever been able to melt her
defenses. Liv's only friend at Wickham, fellow scholarship
kid Gabe Nichols, warns her not to get involved, but life is
finally going Liv's way, and all she wants to do is enjoy
the ride.
But Liv's bliss is doomed. Weeks after arriving, she is
viciously murdered and, in death, she discovers that she's
the latest victim of a dark conspiracy that has claimed many
lives. Cursed with the ability to see the many ghosts on
Wickham's campus, Gabe is now Liv's only link to the world
of the living. To Malcolm.
Together, Liv, Gabe, and Malcolm fight to expose the
terrible truth that haunts the halls of Wickham. But Liv
must fight alone to come to grips with the ultimate
star-crossed love.
