Description:
Only Bauer Grant can pull off gorgeous while dead. But staying dead is another thing entirely. When he wakes up at his own funeral, the town of Mystique calls it a miracle, until it happens again. Something is bringing the residents of Mystique back to life, but what? Presley Caine finds herself caught up in the mystery when Bauer asks her to visit him. Presley can’t figure out why the most popular guy in school is so drawn to her. And when Bauer is kidnapped soon after, she looks to Bauer’s brooding best friend Sam, whose dad works for the powerful Mystique military base, for answers. In her quest to discover the truth, Presley’s relationship with Sam deepens, her feelings for Bauer are tested, and it becomes clear that her own mysterious past is somehow connected to these strange events. But is she strong enough to handle the truth when it is finally revealed?
My
Take:
Wow. Just wow.
I was
initially intrigued by the synopsis of this book, but I wasn't sure
how everything will pan out. It could have been a great book, or
something that's been to the category of notoriously bad reads.
Luckily, this turned out to be a great read.
From
page 1, the first sentence, I was hooked. It didn't take long for me
to be invested in Presley or to become way too curious. There were a
lot of moments where the characters annoyed me, but it was to be
expected. What they had to go through, is not something someone deals
with on a day to day basis so their reactions were warranted; I just
happened to be a very impatient woman.
The
progression of these characters relationships was also something very
spot on. It was very realistic and none of this instantaneous I love
you nonsense, that while I occasionally adore in a book with a
supernatural quality, I was happy to find that the author took note
that this was not that kind of story.
And
while this story, this book did have a legitimate ending, I'm not
ashamed to admit that I'm a little bit sad is that this journey has
come to an end.

Quills
All
good things must come to an end, and this was definitely go so it's
not surprising that it did indeed finish, but I am a little
disappointed that there will be no more Presley, no more Sam and no
more Bauer. I really grew to love these characters and I admit that I
would really like to know more about them and where the story could
possibly go. Kudos to the author for writing such a unique and
riveting tale.
