Neal Shusterman has written quite a few books about death. And every time they make you seriously think.

I remember reading this book when we were moving in to our first house in Quartz Hill. It was spooky and interesting and very enjoyable.

Closer to 4.5 stars.

As a huge fan of the Unwind series, I decided to give this one a try finally! Like Unwind, it took awhile for me to get into the book and connect with the story/characters, but once I did, I devoured the book. This is definitely geared toward younger preteen/teenagers, so the themes and issues were more simplistic than I was expecting after reading Unwind, but I think it's a fantastic book for that age group.

I loved the framing of the book, especially the ending. There was actually a twist that I should have seen coming, but somehow I didn't! But the ending sets up the rest of the series nicely (as far as I can tell, since I haven't read the others yet), and I'm really curious to see what happens!

This book was unique, in a good way! The plot was interesting as the world of Everlost. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I was going to being as it's a book intended for middle-schoolers. I liked the character development, if I didn't particularly care for some of the characters (looking at you, Allie). The beginning was a tad slow for me, even with the jarring way we are thrown, along with our two main protagonists (Allie and Nick), into the story. It was like the first chapter or so was very strong and then it just kind of lagged. Thankfully, the action picked back up near the middle and it was a thrill from there on out. I really enjoyed this book and I think I will be continuing this series. After that ending, I need to know what happens!

           This was a surprisingly original story. I loved the different characters -- it wasn't just Luke Skywalker finding they had a talent -- and the setup of having the villains paired romantically with the heroes.
