Mara is the ultimate unreliable narrator - she doesn't know what's real and what's not. But, rather than shy away from the horror of Mara's situation, the book embraces it fully, creating some truly chilling sequences. To all appearances, this book is just another teen paranormal romance - hot boys and mysterious goings on with paranormal undertones. This was one of those books that grabs you by the throat and drags you through the pages - pages you can't quite turn fast enough yet run out far too quickly at the same time. With all this to contend with, the last thing Mara needs is the attention of Noah Shaw - the school's bad boy hottie, who likes to make conquests of each new female face in town. She sees the faces of her dead friends all the time - in her bathroom mirror, on the street, in the corridors of her new school - and then she starts to see people's death before they happen. She needs to know what happened the night her two best friends and her boyfriend died in an accident she somehow managed to escape unscathed.īut with her post traumatic stress disorder causing her to question what's real and what isn't, Mara's having trouble distinguishing fantasy from memory. It's just what the doctor ordered, and her family - though still treating her like she might fall apart at any moment - are tentatively hopeful that it's just what she needs to get back on her feet. Mara has just started her whole life over - new city, new school, new start.
