Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Bliss (Crestview Academy #1)
Lauren Myracle brings her keen understanding of teen dynamics to a hypnotic horror story of twisted friendship.When Bliss’s hippie parents leave the commune and dump her at the home of her aloof grandmother in a tiny Atlanta neighborhood, it’s like being set down on an alien planet. The only guide naïve Bliss has to her new environment is what she’s seen on The Andy Griffith Show. But Mayberry is poor preparation for Crestview Academy, an elite school where the tensions of the present and the dark secrets of the past threaten to simmer into violence. Openhearted, naïve Bliss is happy to be friends with anyone. That’s not the way it has ever worked at Crestview, and soon Bliss is at the center of a struggle for power between three girls—two living and one long dead.

The whole time I was reading this I knew I KNEW That I had read it before but I kept going because I couldnt remember what happened next and it did keep my interestThis book was pretty good. Definitely a Teen read. It was easy to follow. The horror aspects were done well. The suspense was great. I didnt like how it ended, but thats not due to writing - it just wasnt a happy ending lol but it shouldnt be. All in all, I enjoyed the book and wouldnt hesitate to read the next one.
I enjoyed this book but I was hoping for more spooky or scarier moments throughout the whole book. I think it just needed a little more hair raising moments.
I feel . . . cheated. Yes, that's the word. The cover was enchanting and scary, perfect for a Halloween read, and this was a novel with the backdrop of a real 1970 case about a man who'd murdered all these innocent people. It started out on a creepy note, and there wasn't any complaint about Myracle's writing. Bliss's characterizations rung true to her naive fourteen-year-old, daughter-of-hippies image. I liked her. The alternations between Bliss's story and the rantings of a mysterious S.L.L
I'm not exactly sure what to say about this book. It's set during the Vietnam War, and Bliss is the teenage daughter of hippies who leave her with her rich, conservative grandmother in the South while they run off to Canada to avoid the draft. Bliss's grandmother enrolls her in a private school, because, well, the public schools are integrated. Just about all of the students at Bliss's school attend there because their parents don't want them attending an integrated institution, and those values
Oh my. Very, very different than ttyl. I didn't really like that book, but more because I thought that the conceit was ill-served by the ordinary plot.Here, though, the plot is anything but ordinary. We're in Atlanta, in 1969. Bliss intheMeadow (yep, a real hippie last name) is living with her very stereotyped grandmother after her parents flee to Canada to avoid the draft. This is a very different world than the commune... the social work center... or any other place Bliss has lived. She's sent
Bliss had an interesting premise, but a poorly executed plot and flat characters. It excelled in the witch-y aspects (the sense of another world being beyond our own and the ability of Bliss to access it) but characters like Sandy, Sarah Lynn, and Mitchell fell completely flat. Only Bliss and her Grandmother seemed to develop at all. The character of Sandy in general was really weird and the plot became very uncomfortable at times. I assumed I would be more scared while reading as it has the
