** Although Christina doesn't think of herself as beautiful, compliments she receives on her appearance can be interpreted to actually represent her native island; not necessarily beautiful, but interesting. She does love her [[MulticoloredHair silver, gold, and sable hair]] though.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: A variation, which can better be described as ''victims'' of another story. On realizing that the empty guest bedrooms in Schooner Inne correlate to the Shevvington's previous victims, Christina gets to wondering who these girls are. We eventually learn their names when Christina finds the Shevvingtons' files, but nothing else about them.
Added DiffLines:
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: This is all over the place, with Christina and the other victims of the Shevvingtons constantly grappling with the question of whether they have actual supernatural powers or not. [[spoiler:They don't]].

* BrokenPedestal: Christina has had a crush on Michael for most of her life, only to realize in Book 3 that he's something of a SpoiledBrat, and turns her attention to his brother Benj instead. The same happens in regards to Blake, who she desperately loves only to realize that he could have said and done more to help her, but kept his mouth shut because he didn't want to look foolish.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Throughout Book 1, the Shevvingtons are assisted in their schemes by a PsychoPsychologist called Miss Frisch. Robbie warns Christina that she's the same woman they sent his sister Val to, and the conspiracy goes deep considering Christina also recognizes her as the owner of the souvenir shop on Burning Fog Island, who gives Anya a poster that the Shevvingtons keep switching with another one in order to gaslight her. (Christina even blames her for having killed the ferryman's dog). She's clearly in deep with the Shevvingtons and manages to take an incriminating photo of Christina going through school files, and yet after Book 1 she's never seen or referenced again.
* ContinuitySnarl: In the first book Mr Shevvington's first name is revealed to be Arnold. In the second it's Arthur. In the third it goes ''back'' to Arnold.
