A Deadly Game

It’s an old college hall on a stormy, lonely night and Robin is not going home. Five students including her are staying over theThanksgiving holiday, and each has their own story of troubles that keep them on the isolated campus. When one of them discovers an Ouija board, Robin joins Lisa in asking questions while the other three try to ignore them, but soon everyone is drawn into the deadly game. In The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff, the spirit might just be a shared psychological experience, a prank, or it could be real. Mistrust and jealousy only complicate matters as Robin tries to discover the truth before it’s too late. Then again it may already be too late.
