This book is unique to me. I've read a lot of books over the years. I can't think of any book I've read along the lines of this one. Yes, I've read books where characters died but not about the story of their afterlife. And all the possibilities.

Walker Callaghan is a 17 year old living in Chicago with her mom and her aunt. We glimpse from the story that she had been sick with pneumonia before she died but that wasn't the cause of her death. We learn of Walker's passing in the first chapter and then it moves to her afterlife, even though she doesn't know that at first.

She meets several new friends at the Academy, the school for teenagers who aren't delinquents in their previous life. Daniel Reid is a fellow classmate and someone everyone wants to be with but he doesn't notice anyone. Not until Walker comes along anyways.

We learn the story of several of the characters and the surroundings of their deaths through the book. I like the appearance of several of the characters. I will say, it's unique to have all the characters that appear be real people that have passed, minus the students. The adults are all people that have passed in real life and make an appearance at the Academy by teaching one subject or another.

Like I said, this book is unique to me. I was intrigued from the moment I started reading. I read this book as much as I could until I finished it. I was engrossed with this book and wanted more! The characters could pass as everyday people like you and I, except the living vs dead feature though. There's action, adventure and romance in here along with some mischief.

I definitely can't wait to get the rest of the books in this series and finish reading it!… (mehr)
