Young, attractive teens? Check. Romantic conflict? Check. Hot young guy driving really fast on a motorcycle? Check. Clichéd spooky keep with a horrid past? Check. Lots of hard body testosterone flying around? Check.

Possessed, has us following Rayne as she struggles to leave the craziness of her everyday life behind. Like many teens today, she’s desperate to find a place where she belongs, a place where she can be at peace and one that is far away from how she currently just exists. In her quest for freedom she’s hired on as staff at Morton’s Keep, to work in the tea room, serving its visitors as they tour the creepy old landmark and inquire about its rumored sordid past.

Not long after her arrival she meets with a young group of attractive teens that take her in as one of their own almost immediately. However, she soon learns that there may be other motives behind her new-found friends.

I’m really not sure what to think after reading Possessed It read quickly and was actually entertaining, but I felt like the story kept going nowhere. In fact, you really don’t learn anything about Rayne’s friends and the black past of Morton’s Keep until the last five or six chapters.

To be fair, I’m not a Young Adult Fiction fan; however, I can’t help but think that Possessed will be a great hit among its intended audience. It follows the same seductive formula not too unlike that of the Stephanie Myer’s, Twilight Series, which is really hot among young readers right now.

My verdict:

If you want a quick, easy and guilty pleasure read, check out Kate Cann’s, Possessed.

Keep reading!
