There's bragging, there's trying to impress a boy, and then there's 16-year-old Zadie. Her first mistake was telling the boy she's crushing on that she could bring her dead sister back to life. Her second mistake? Actually doing it! When Zadie accidentally messes with the reaper's rite that should have claimed her sister Mara, things go horribly wrong (you think?). Mara isn't the same anymore—Zadie isn't even sure she's completely human, and to top it off, a reaper is determined to collect Mara's soul no matter what. Now Zadie must figure out how to defeat her sister's reaper, intent on claiming both girls, or let Mara die . . . this time for good. This refreshing paranormal love story encloaks a deeper lesson about sisterhood, consequence, and facing one's responsibilities.

I really liked this book. Zadie is a likable character she values friends and family and has a strong sense of right and wrong. Both Gavin and Chase are mysterious characters and I grew to like both of them by the end of the book. It wasn't the most exciting sequence of events that I have read in a book but it was not boring either. 

I enjoyed the Vila aspect in this book. It's similar to many other books that I've read but it is a different take on the subject. I would have liked to see things through Mara's eyes as well. She was in a precarious position and would have had an interesting internal struggle about both the things she could control and the things she was powerless to change. I look forward to reading the second book.
