Watching The Roses : Egerton Hall Trilogy 2

Summary

Once Megan, Bella and Alice shared a room. The Tower Room was theirs alone, remote from the rest of Egerton Hall School and here they formed a deep friendship which would continue long after they left their enchanted world.

But now something is very wrong with Alice - poisoned by dark memories and unable to speak to a single soul it seems the ill-wishing placed on her has come true. Even her closest friends don't seem able to save her from the nightmare . . .

Based loosely on the fairytale Sleeping Beauty, this is a haunting tale of treachery and betrayal.
