Synopsis:  New from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, a dark, fantastical story about this world . . . and the underworld.

Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.
Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.

My Review: Death is a part of life's cycle, and people always wonder about the light at the end of the tunnel. If you ask Pierce Oliviera there is no light only a completely different world.
When a freak accident leaves her flatlined she finds herself in this alternate world where she encounters John, a death diety who wants her  as his companion for enternity. She makes an escape and returns to her body.
A fresh start and normalcy are all she wants but not what she gets. Life as she knew it will never be the same. SHe starts loosing touch with reality which causes an assortment of problems for her.
After her parents divorce her mom and herself move to the small island of Isla Hueso off the coast of Flordia. Her mom wants a new start for them away from the stress of big city living. On the island the only thing the population knows about Peirce is that she is Alex's cousin, her mom was a popular student back in the day and her dad is one of the big wigs whose company was responsible for the devastaing oil spill in the gulf. All seems well and normal is a possiblity or is it?

I was amazed by this book. I could not put it down , I want to know more about John and Peirce
