Today, we have AMAZING news! The exceptionally lovely Eva Pohler has released her next book!
The Purgatorium is the first book in a new YA series. Eva, of course, is the author of
The Gatekeeper's Saga which we adore- so I'm sure you can imagine how exciting Eva's new release is for us.
Seventeen year-old
Daphne Janus is floored when her parents agree to let her accompany her
best friend to a getaway resort on an island off the coast of
California. She doesn't know her parents have sent her to the
Purgatorium as a last-ditch effort to save their child.
Her best
friend and life-long neighbor takes her to a mostly uninhabited island
with a wildlife preserve on one side and Chumash Indian ruins on the
“haunted” side. The resort might be beautiful, the beach pristine, and
the views from the headland amazing, but strange things begin to happen
that soon have Daphne running for her life. At first she finds the
therapeutic games thrilling: the ghosts that visit her room, the
dropping elevator, and the kayak incident are actually kind of fun once
she recovers from them. But when her horse bucks her off during a trail
ride and she becomes lost on the haunted side of the island, it’s not
fun anymore, and she wonders if her parents have sent her there to help
her or to punish her.
Eva Pohler writes fiction for
teens and adults and teaches writing and literature at the University of
Texas at San Antonio, where she lives with her husband, three kids, two
dogs, and two rats (Katniss and Prim, of course). She's also an avid
reader and book reviewer.
