The Story:
You follow Kaylee a young woman who start noticing weird happenings with herself. She can sense just when a person is about to die. What is wrong with her?
Soon she finds out about a family secret. But not from the family, from a mysterious guy at school, she soon falls in love with. Can she even trust her family? And what kind of a world is this??
My Opinion:
I enjoyed this book very much. Laughed a lot, or correctly made humming sounds through it xD It´s written with fun commenting through the whole book. And there are some romance involved. And I hint a bit of a thriangle drama, but not much happend in the first book. I also felt that everything was going a bit slow and it lacked some drama. But for a first book in a series I guess it´s okay, since you gotta get known with everything.
There for I gave it 4,5 out of 6 stars.
Since I love Rachel Vincent writting. Though it had it´s missing I think and have hope that the rest of the series is better :) Crossing my fingers for more action, drama, romance and hopefully more Tod :P
Looking forward to read the sequel. Interesting to see where this is heading...

Though I haven't read the series yet. I love the covers and the summary, its a little different with the whole she knows when someone around her is about to die. Thats saddening! Anyways, the books sounds good but having it be a little dragging is a little discouraging! But I'll still give it a try! Thanks for the review!
