My Review: I fell in love with Lily almost immediately. I mean who doesn't love the clumsy girl who talks to dead bodies? I often found myself at the edge of my seat while reading this one and just couldn't stop. There were so many twists in the story that kept me guessing up until the end. The characters in this story are so lovable and easy to relate to. You have the main character Lily, who was bullied most of her life for being the goth mortician's daughter that had a bad limp after a tragic accident, along with her sarcastic older brother and best friend who stumble upon a nearly dead Adam while searching the remains of his house. Adam was an interesting character. From the beginning we know there's something not quite right about him but Fraser keeps us guessing as to what it is until nearly the end of the book. I loved watching Adam help Lily grow and figure out exactly what she wants in life. This book handles death and the loss of loved ones in a way that makes it feel ok. The story was quirky and suspenseful and perfect for a weekend read.
