In the midst of a boarding school's demise, a young and naive nun experiences an intense sexual awakening.

Retold through her diary, the secluded school of St. Martin's is falling apart. To make matters worse, a student goes missing, pitting fear and doubt against the school's headmaster. When the headmaster begins exhibiting disturbing behavior, it's up to the nun to protect the last remaining students. Aide arrives in the form of a mysterious priest, whose very presence poses the rawest temptation for the nun. But as winter closes in on the isolated group, an unseen danger takes hold, threatening escape. The nun's final testimony of her affair with a priest and their battle against seemingly true evil will blur the line between cabin fever and a haunting from hell.

Excerpt:

February 20, 1995
I've spent the last few days avoiding Fr. Derrick. Not an easy task in a school with a population of 7. Today he finally cornered me alone, though. I suppose it was inevitable.

"Do I look diseased?"

"What?"

"You've done your best to keep me at a distance, and cover yourself with the kids the past few days. I'm assuming my appearance has rattled you." He wasn't wrong. My nerves were on edge, and what I had prayed for was a way out. Not a new stranger to figure out.

"I like to keep structure for the children. It keeps them occupied." I wanted to get away from him, but he was blocking the doorway.

"I'm just asking for a moment. I'd like to help. The missing boy—that has to have taken a toll. And the recent disappearance of Sister Mary—also unsettling."

"They're coping," I said, listlessly. He stepped closer to me, his blue eyes on my face, impossible to get around them.

"I'm talking about you." His concern made me laugh. We were all on our own, except for the children.

"I'm alright. I am disappointed, I'll admit, that you've essentially come to help babysit." My tone was biting, unfriendly. And I wanted to back off, but the anger was on the surface, and I was tired.

“You can’t do this alone, Sister.” All I could do was nod my head. Annoyance in my eyes, I knew my speech would be shaky, so I stood mute. Finally he moved away from the door, and I made my escape down to the kitchen. There was something about that man that just unsettled me. No, not unsettled. That was the wrong word.

Great book from a new author

Religious horror novel. Really all you need to know. EM Bryant skillfully mixes religion and creeptastic thrills in this short but sweet book. My only complaint was that I wanted more, more, more...but it's going to be a trilogy so I guess I just have to wait! I really loved the atmosphere Bryant created in the novel, and I was honestly surprised in the last few chapters (in a good way). Ultimately satisfying and a great read.

This trilogy was amazing. I loved all three of these books. I could not put them down. It only took my three day to read them because I had to know what was going to happen. In book three you think you know what is going on, but you don't, trust me. It was the greatest ending. I can not wait to read more by this author.

Read with the lights on!

I purchased this book after reading this author's two short stories. I enjoyed the short stories, so I thought I'd read her novella. There are very few similarities in the three pieces of writing. I think that's why I was happily surprised when I read this novella-she doesn't rely on the same tricks in all of her writing.

I started this book right before bed, but I couldn't stop reading because the suspense was built up. It wasn't just the suspense of "What is going on in this place??" but the tension between the nun and the priest. I ended up staying up and reading the entire thing in one sitting.

The diary entries gives the reader the first person point of view which is crucial for building up the horror aspects of the story. We are right there with the nun watching the events unfold. At one point during reading the book, I wanted to turn all the lights in my house on because I was thoroughly creeped out. Of course, the limitation of the first person point of view is that we are left wondering what isn't being told in the story, and questioning how reliable our narrator really is.

I enjoyed the setting quite a bit. Even though the diary entries are from the nineties, it seems like an era further in the past. I think it's the nun's innocence to the world and the remote location of the school that gives the book that feeling of being from the past. Personally, I enjoyed that aspect of it. I got to see how "modern" people adapted to living in an old world situation.

If you are a fan of "American Horror Story" like me, I would recommend this book.

I'd highly recommend-thought provoking and entertaining! I enjoy the Diary type style the book is written. I normally read non-fiction, but I really liked reading this book.
