Explanation As Books Intrinsical (The Yara Silva Trilogy #1)
Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living. Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.Define Books Conducive To Intrinsical (The Yara Silva Trilogy #1)

Creepy, ghostly story that twists and turns until up is down and left is right. Some really great imagery on the cover that matches the story perfectly. I really liked the astral projection pieces.Intrinsical is one of the most engaging and fast-paced novels I have read. Every single page made me want to keep reading and I hated when I was too busy to do so. Lani Woodlands writing is beautiful and fresh. Her descriptions are well-written, never over the top, and create such vivid images.

Chilling, fast paced and haunting.I have to say this novel is NOT one you can read while tired, or with other things on your mind, there's WAY to much going on and if you miss something, it can really hurt the story...I wanted to finish last night but after having to reread things, I decided to give up and finish during the light of day. It's intricate details are amazing - this plot is one of the best one's I have ever read, so thought out, each "element" fitting precisely in the correct place
Ive been meaning to read this story for a while. Every time I look at that gorgeous cover, I wonder what the heck took me so long?

Right from the beginningwhich is breath-holding-ly excitingshe was
This book burts forth like a bull from a gate. Lani doesn't hold back on getting the story moving right away. Yara's journey of acceptance is masterfully laid out over the course of the novel with plenty of twists and turns along the way. The sensory details are amazing, and the way she incorporates the orange groves into the story is thrilling for anyone familiar with Corona to read, since it's such a part of the local history. It's refreshing to read a book with a female lead who starts out
My ex-boyfriend used to have a bike he was madly in love with. I swear to god, that bike was like his first-born child. The thing is, it had this one, teeny-tiny problem... Starting trouble!!!Unfortunately, starting trouble is a big issue for me. I'm not like a lot of Goodreaders out there for whom finishing a book is almost a point of honour. If a story can't hold my interest from the word go, chances are, I will dump it unless I'm hating it so much that the pleasure of writing a scathing
