Shoutout to author of this emai!
Hello, Email Author! I tried to write you back but your email provider rejected me, sob. So here is your answer. If it’s ok to post your first name and last initial, please let me know and I will do that! Other people who have given me permission to post but haven’t seen their posts on here, please resend and let me know it’s ok. I had an email disaster a while back!
Here is my answer:
X, I’m so excited that you’re excited! The Evil Within is coming
out in June. I think it’s even scarier than the first one. Since I
started writing the series, I seriously cannot turn all the lights out
when I go to bed. So I hope you like it, and sorry for the wait!
You might enjoy reading PRETTY LITTLE DEVILS in the meantime.
–Nancy

Another Great POSSESSIONS Review
Thank you, The BookKids Blog!
Possessions by Nancy Holder
Lindsay is a scholarship student at Marlwood Academy. Surrounded by rich girls, Lindsay isn’t sure she’ll survive. Of course, fitting in is the least of her worries once she discovers queen bee, Mandy’s, weird obsession. Marlwood has a secret past, and Mandy and pals are up to no good…in a black arts, raising the dead sort of way. Possessions is the novel Stephen King would have written had he been asked to write Gossip Girl – full of the posh cliques, girlie drama and high school shenanigans, but also scary as Hell. With its creepy, secluded setting, ethereal language, and leanings toward the occult, Possessions is the perfect book to not read alone in the dark.

Great Reviews!
For PRETTY LITTLE DEVILS from BLOGGING FOR A GOOD BOOK:
Every school has them, the popular clique of girls whom everyone wants to date or be best friends with. The Pretty Little Devils (PLDs) are such a group of girls, at Brookhaven High School in California. While they are pretty and intelligent, they are also manipulative, and can get away with anything, maybe even murder.
Hazel is at first on the outside looking in at the PLDs, like the other less popular students at Brookhaven, until she is noticed by the group’s leader and brought in as their newest member. This is just the change Hazel has hoped for. She wants new friends to help boost her status at Brookhaven, in order to make the most of her high school years. She gets what she wants but, as is so often the case, she doesn’t know what to do with it once she gets it. She soon realizes that she might be in over her head. Hazel tries to make the best of it, but when a rival of the PLDs turns up dead she wonders just how far the girls are willing to go to rule the school. Could one of them be capable of murder?
This book reads a bit like a teen horror movie from the 90s, one that I might have seen during my own (less murderous) high school days. Teens behaving badly and the desire for popularity are merged seamlessly here with death and deceit. By the end the mystery is solved, and the story comes to a conclusion, but room is definitely left for a sequel. This would be a good read for those who don’t want too much realism in their murder mystery, as just enough of a teen romantic-comedy is mixed in to be appealing.
And from BOOKLIST for POSSESSIONS!
Sep 2009. 320 p. Penguin/Razorbill, paperback, $9.99. (9781595142559).
Scholarship tenth-grader Lindsay arrives at her creepy new boarding school to discover that the richest girl on campus, Mandy, seems to be possessed by an evil and supernatural force. Lindsay is mourning the death of her mother as well as being self-conscious about her recent breakdown, perhaps brought about by
her own attempts to win the popularity game at her old school. From this emotional but perceptive narrator we hear how Lindsay’s new schoolmates respond to being courted by Mandy and her minions, and Lindsay’s own plans to save as many of them as she can. A hunky love interest adds an element of
romance without the boy becoming the center of Lindsay’s tale. And offstage lingers Mandy’s scary brother, with whom, rumor has it, Mandy has had an incestuous affair. While coincidences and red herrings abound, Holder’s writing is taut and evocative, allowing a suspension of disbelief that makes this
a thrilling read. The cliffhanger ending promises a sequel.

WICKED THE MOVIE?
Thanks so much to everyone who has been asking if there is going to be a movie version of WICKED. Debbie and I have a superb Hollywood agent, and a script has been commissioned. It is being shown around town now. We would be grateful for prayers, blessings, spells, and good vibes to make our dream of a movie a reality.
Blessed Be and Merry Meet,
Nancy for Team Wicked!
