    Bought this book and read it a few years back. I didn't know a whole lot about it but it sounded super interesting so I picked it up. Could not put it down. I loved it. Such an intriguing story line, great character development and all in all a great novel. I would recommend this to everyone, the story is so different and fresh.

    From the VERY FIRST LINE of the book, you're enthralled. This novel has one of the best hooks I've read, one that immediately intrigues you and makes you wonder........Whoa, who's staring at her? This novel is a supernatural romance that follows our protoganist Helen who's been dead for 130 years. She is forced to cling onto one human life after the other, in order to save herself from the sinking, deathly cold hell like experience that threatens to swallow her. Throughout the years, she continues to experience painful human emotions like that of sadness, loneliness, and unrequited love, but that all changes when someone sees her....

    This is one of the few books that actually made me cry. It has both a classic and modern feel that intertwine perfectly, and it deals with realistic topics, specifically involving family. This is my number one favorite book and I recommend it to all teenagers and adults alike.
