Well let me start out by saying . . Not one, but TWO male candy. Dank and Leif are so hot!!!

SYNOPISIS

What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course. Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.

Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.

Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.

He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

COVER:

I think the cover portrays Dank being protective of Pagan. His eyes are brilliant blue with a glowing effect which is what I imagined him looking like in the story. A few times throughout reading this book, I had to go back to the cover and see this iCandy.

MY THOUGHTS:

I am a new Abbi Glines fan! This is the first book that I've read of her's and now downloading more of her books on my Kindle. I read this book in two days, but could have done so in a half-day. But you know, I was on vacation with the family, so couldn't escape to read. This was just such a great read! You have romance, suspense, twists and turns throughout the story. I loved the love triangle that Abbi Glines created. Both guys, Dank and Leif had mystery, sex appeal, and made you feel safe. From beginning to end it was a page turner. I never lost interest or wanted to "skip over a few pages". This fantastic paranormal romance held my attention throughout the whole story and had me craving for more!

The forbidden love story between Dank and Pagan was awesome! They had many obstacles to overcome, which I felt made it all the sweeter for the two; the closeness even when apart was still there. Dank is so dark and mysterious. I love that he is not only Death, but a rock start too! Pagan at times could be a bit dramatic, but she sees souls so I'll give her a break, she can be as dramatic as she wants. Pagan was sweet and unselfish.

Leif and Pagan's relationship (unknown to Leif) was based on security and only that. I think at first Pagan seemed to see Leif as a possible boyfriend, but the closer her and Dank got the less she thought Leif as boyfriend material. Leif was just that guy you could always count on; just so lovable. I was actually rooting for Leif during most of the story, but at the ending is a shocker cliffhanger and now I'm wondering who or what Leif is.

The other characters in the story were well developed and believable. Fun, quirky, stand by your side, type of friends. I really enjoyed the character Gee. What a twist on her character! I was fooled. I hope she is in the second book.

SUM IT ALL UP ... If you haven't read any of Abbi Gline's novels, you've got to start now! My next read is Predestined which is the sequel of Existence.
