Review: Good but chopped out the best scene at the end.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook for review.I found this book to be entrancing but slow.  It definitely has a lot of just chatter between students and teachers.  In between that were the bits about the history of the Abbey, the family and the violin and they were very interesting.  The English countryside setting and the Abbey were characters themselves and the author did a perfect job of detailing them so you really felt the creepy haunted atmosphere.  Arabella, the sort of antagonist, was a phenomenal character that really drove the story. The way the author gave you only a little of her directly and a lot through the eyes of the students and teachers at the school made her even more scary than just the idea of demon possession.So the story had a great buildup and carry through but a really abrupt ending that wasn't so satisfying.  It was a long book and it felt like the author just got tired of writing and gave up.  The conclusion wasn't bad just too abrupt.  I liked the book, I thought it was a good read.
