Narrative Concering Books Ruined (Ruined #1)

A gripping YA supernatural novel set in New Orleans: Twilight with a ghostly twist. Rebecca couldn't feel more out of place in New Orleans, where she comes to spend the year while her dad is traveling. She's staying in a creepy old house with her Aunt Claudia, who reads Tarot cards for a living. And at the snooty prep school, a pack of filthy-rich girls treat Rebecca like she's invisible. Only gorgeous, unavailable Anton Grey seems to give Rebecca the time of day, but she wonders if he's got a hidden agenda. Then one night, in Lafayette Cemetery, Rebecca makes a friend. Sweet, mysterious Lisette is eager to talk to Rebecca, and to show her the nooks and crannies of the city.

Article Regarding Books Ruined (Ruined #1)

Isn't that cover absolutely gorgeous, if a bit misleading (the ghost in the story is a young black girl and the woman in the picture, well, she doesn't look young or black, does she?)It being a ghost story wasn't really what pushed me into this purchase, rather it was because the ghost story's setting is New Orleans. I have no ties with NOLA outside of doing the touristy visits. Still, in all of the places that I have travelled, NOLA is the only city that I can still visualize, the only place

I've had this book on my To Read list for a while and finally got around to it. Unfortunately, it wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped it would be. This book took me over a month to finish. I really should've DNF'd it since I put it down for several weeks and didn't have a want to pick it back up. I was on my last renewal of this book with my library, and decided to finish it up since I had less than 100 pages to go.I feel like the story did progress quite a bit towards the end, but it wasn't

Although this book deals with much about New Orleans that is exotic and otherworldly, the author does a marvelous job at describing what it's like to be an outsider in a society or culture that is very much closed to anyone who isn't one of the inner circle. When Rebecca Brown comes to live--reluctantly--in New Orleans three years after Hurricane Katrina, she knows very little about the place. The girls at her private school snub her, of course, and she ends up haunting the local cemetery where

Ruined is marketed as a ghost story and it is a story about a ghost, but it's not what I expected. It's not scary, or spooky or spine-tingling. It's just about a girl who happens to be a ghost. The plot is quite good and we are introduced to Rebecca, who is the only person (or so she thinks) that can see the ghost, Lisette. They form a friendship, but behind it there is a secret which Rebecca slowly unravels and discovers the truth. Rebecca is a nice girl, but we don't really get to know her,

Even better this time around. This is one of the reasons why I love rereading; it also has a downside I always fear when I start a reread: what if I don't love it as much as I did the first time? Or even worse: what if I'm indifferent to it; what if I can't even fathom why I shelved it as "dear most dear books?"I'm so glad I own the sequel. And I'm in New Orleans heaven right now: rereading Ruined, the sequel, and The Casquette Girls!Nothing beats New Orleans as a setting.Nothing.

Loved this book! I loved the way the author used the old legends of New Orleans and mixed it in with modern day. I've always been interested in the subcultures of New Orleans. It's city with such history and this book played on that. So much history is immersed in the story.The characters were intriguing, especially Anton who I really couldn't figure out the whole book. As for our lead Rebecca, I was constantly trying to figure out the connection between her and the "old blood" families of New
