this was one wierd story, and to make matters worse, I had the same book in my posession, under the title Anima, by Marie Buchanan, the same author with 2 names. If only it could happen the way it did in the story.
Probably one of the worst books I've read under the guise of being a psychological mystery. I am suprised this ever got published! Thankfully, later books are better.
