<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It snuck up on me, I turned around and there was a great freakin\u2019 YA novel.<\/p>\n
I am not afraid to admit that I am a bit bored with the current genre excitement in YA. I needed something to shake me up and Emily Evans did an awesome job with The Boarding School Experiment. I have said it before and will say it again, the best books are the ones where two rivals or mean haters fall for one another.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A poorly planned revenge ends Elena and her long time nemesis, Thane, in\u00a0the principal’s office; a place\u00a0they have spent a good deal of time together over the last few years. Elena\u2019s resentment combined with Thane\u2019s competitive spirit has had the two in a war of wills. In a ploy to send Thane away permanently Elena changes the names of the questionnaire sheets for those who will be part of an upcoming experimental boarding school to re-establish standardized testing. By putting Thane\u2019s name on the test of the smartest boy in the schools she thinks she will banish him for good. Until she finds herself banished with him.<\/p>\n
There were more than a few times where I was surprised by reveals in the plot. Thane and Rhys are just yummy as the male portion of the team. Geneva, Elena and Kaitlin are the type of girls anyone would want on their side. Hell, I<\/em> want them for roomies!<\/p>\n This book was all the stars but since ALL THE STARS isn\u2019t an option it is all the ones I could select. I\u2019ve already bought Rhys and Kait\u2019s story and it is awaiting me on my Kindle for a date both my e-reader and I are excited about.<\/p>\n Elena and Thane are the best sort of love to haters and I think everyone should meet them.<\/p>\n Recommendations based on this book:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The Boarding School Experiment Synopsis:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n There are three steps to taking revenge on the most popular, hottest guy in your senior class:<\/p>\n After Elena fails at all of them, she\u2019s tossed into a government run boarding school in Alaska.<\/p>\n The worst part? Thane Trallwyn–her worst enemy and subject of her blown revenge–goes in with her.<\/p>\n Alaska\u2019s not big enough.

Where have you been?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBear. Attack. Geneva.\u201d I gasped out the words and pointed toward the trail.<\/p>\n Two of the other teachers pushed passed The Scientist. \u201cGet inside.\u201d<\/p>\n I ignored their instructions. With my hand pressed hard to my aching side, I followed. About ten feet up, I noticed something I\u2019d missed on the way down. A sensible shoe abandoned below a huge boulder. I moved closer. Coordinator Steele lay sprawled behind it, unconscious. She must have slipped while hiding when the bear attacked Geneva. I bent and checked her breathing. Her eyes were closed but her chest rose and fell with ease.<\/p>\n My fists clenched and I almost didn\u2019t want to call for help. But this was as much my fault as hers. I\u2019d known we needed gear. I\u2019d known the hiking guide didn\u2019t know what she was doing. Her badge hung from her collar. Teacher. Coordinator. She didn\u2019t deserve either title. I snatched the laminated card from the clip.<\/p>\n Gravel crunched as two of the teachers came into view, carrying Geneva between them. I shoved the badge in my pocket. \u201cCoordinator Steele must\u2019ve slipped.\u201d<\/p>\n The third teacher, The Scientist, ran to us, pushing me out of the way and bent to check the guide\u2019s vitals. I backed toward Thane.<\/p>\n Additional coordinators had left the habitat and were running up the path toward us. \u201cGo in now,\u201d one said.<\/p>\n Thane and I left them to deal with the fallen guide and hurried through the door. A bunch of students had gathered near the entrance, blocking the way, trying to see out. They \u201cLet them through,\u201d a coordinator said. \u201cThis way.\u201d<\/p>\n She ushered us to an elevator and from there, through the restricted area into a nurse\u2019s office. The clinic was extensive: lab equipment, cabinets, and hospital beds. I\u2019d never seen anything like it outside of a hospital. The nurse\u2019s office back home consisted of an exam table, a desk, a sink, and a few cots. This deluxe arrangement made me worry how far we were from the nearest real hospital.<\/p>\n The nurse who met us asked about the incident and any injuries. We had none. Next, she ran through our usual weekly health check questions. \u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d<\/p>\n Thane crossed his arms over his chest. \u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFreaked. How is Geneva?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s in good hands. Don\u2019t worry. Do you feel freaked regularly or is this new?\u201d<\/p>\n Her cool tone brought out the worst of my sarcasm. \u201cIt\u2019s new, since the bear attacked my roommate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIs the feeling mild, moderate, or severe?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSevere.\u201d<\/p>\n She checked my pulse with cold fingers and noted something in the chart. \u201cDo you think this will keep you up tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI never sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n Her head popped up from the paperwork and her eyes grew intent. \u201cSince when?\u201d<\/p>\n I shrugged and didn\u2019t want to say, On and off for two years.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you got here or before?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBefore,\u201d<\/p>\n I said. She nodded and lost interest. \u201cCheck in with me tomorrow about your anxiety levels. I\u2019ll need an update daily until the symptoms resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n At this point, I was wishing I\u2019d just said, Fine like Thane. I\u2019d say it tomorrow.<\/p>\n The loudspeakers came on and the blue light flashed.<\/p>\n \u201cGo ahead to the assembly,\u201d the nurse said. \u201cYou two are fine.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut Geneva\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll take care of her, and your coordinator. Give them time.\u201d<\/p>\n Neither of us had asked about the coordinator, but I was glad she\u2019d be okay. We made our way to the amphitheater. We were the last to squeeze into the back row: dirty, bloody Thane, and tear-streaked, unkempt me. I brushed my palms over my torn sweatpants and kept my gaze on the director, ignoring the students who stared curiously at me and Thane.<\/p>\n The director spoke too close the microphone as usual and the metallic echo was especially strident today. \u201cThere have been some bear sightings. Wild bear. Until further notice, all outdoor activities have been suspended.\u201d<\/p>\n Groans of protest covered the startled murmurs at the word bear.<\/p>\n \u201cOur decision is final.\u201d<\/p>\n Thane stomped out of the amphitheater. The anger poured off him. He hit the wall with his fist. \u201cWhat was that?\u201d He didn\u2019t follow his question with muttered curses. The obscenities came out loud and clear.<\/p>\n I had no clue what to say. I stood there, feeling the same outrage and worry about the whole weirdness of this place.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat kind of wilderness guide runs, screaming, from a bear?\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n I wet my dry lips and put a tentative hand on his arm. \u201cThis place is whack. I know you see it. Or are you just accident prone?\u201d<\/p>\n I dropped my hand, feeling like he slapped me.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat, walking away? Running off in the middle of the argument and planning something nasty as revenge later? You\u2019re good at that.\u201d<\/p>\n He wanted to fight and I had a thousand things to shout back at him, a thousand reasons to scream. One thing held my tongue. One inescapable fact: Thane Trallwyn had just saved my life. I shook my head and ran off, leaving him in his blood-splattered anger.<\/p>\n Meet Emily Evans:<\/p>\n Emily Evans writes fun, young adult romance.
