After a close encounter with a bus, Alona Dare goes from homecoming queen to Queen of the Dead. She’s stuck as a ghost in the land of the living with no sign of the big, bright light to take her to a better place. To make matters worse, the only person who might be able to help her is Will Killian, a total loser outcast.
More than anything, Will wishes he didn’t have the rare ability to communicate with the dead, especially the former mean girl of Groundsboro High. He’s not filling out any volunteer forms to help her cross to the other side, though it would bring him some welcome peace and quiet.
I picked this series on a whim. I wanted a fun story, something a bit lighter than what I've been reading. And to my surprise, I loved it! The book isn't anything ground breaking, but it's solid young adult paranormal. The characters are likable. The concept is pretty fun. The plotline is well thought out and executed. I really enjoyed getting into the slightly strange world of Alona and Will. I feel like I need to read the sequels now. It was that good...
