Summary from author's website: A chilling destiny she can’t escape.
A devastating love she can’t resist.
Violet McKenna isn’t a normal girl with normal teenage issues; she has more to contend with than most people could handle. Violet thought she was just crazy when she had a vivid vision of her dad’s murder. Her life started falling apart when her premonition came true. She’s had flashes of other events too–the problem was nobody believed her until she found a new school: Winterhaven.
At Winterhaven, Violet finally feels like she belongs. She quickly finds a close group friends and discovers that they too have psychic ‘gifts’—as do all the students at Winterhaven. But as soon as she feels settled she discovers the most intriguing and alluring boy she has ever met, and things quickly go awry. As the attraction between them grows, intense visions of the boy’s death start to haunt her. In her premonitions, the secret he is unwilling to share begins to reveal itself. And to Violet’s horror, she learns that their destinies are intertwined in a critical–and deadly–way.
There's also a different summary on Goodreads that gives a few more details, but it seemed a bit spoilery (definitely check it out if you want a few more details). It does, however, say that Winterhaven is located in New York's Hudson Valley, which is a very different place to put a boarding school. It seems as though fictional boarding school seem to be concentrated in New England (Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont) or the middle of the country (like in Vampire Academy). The New York setting makes me very happy. Plus the fact that Winterhaven seems to be a school for "gifted" students sounds like an interesting take on the boarding school story.
