Publisher's Summary

Hi, I'm Alexis Delaney. I'm your average 17-year-old girl. Except I can see the dead. And talk to the dead. And push them away and, well, help them move on.

So...okay, I'm not your average 17-year-old girl.

For years I've been struggling to survive the souls still roaming around. The shitheads always seem to find me. Moving from town to town every few months never helped either. More dead just always find me. But things are changing for me now. I'm moving in with my uncle Rory and cousin Tara. I'm finally going to be able to do normal teenage stuff I've been missing out on. Right?

Well, if this one bitch of a ghost could leave me alone on campus that would be great. Especially since I haven't told my new friends about my abilities. Can you believe this? Five good-looking guys practically adopt me on my first day of school and I still think they're a bit nuts for it. Now if I can only keep my life with the dead from mixing with my normal life everything would be great. Yeah...I don't see that happening either. But I'm going to give it a shot.

Who knows? It might work.

High school drama with the occasional ghost.

The ghost to hot guy ratio wasn’t high enough to hold my interest. And the character development was basically “hot people are good and like each other, everyone else is bad”.

I love that all of her friends are boys and they all have something different to bring to the story. it is well written and read. It makes you laugh so much it this book and the school scenes bring back memories in a good way.

Puddle of feelings

I'm a puddle of feelings. I don't know what to feel with that ending. I want to slap the boys across the face. They made a rule not to date Lexie !?!? Arghhh so much frustration. Lexie is amazing- so strong and funny and she's just been through so much she deserves a happy ending. I love how the boys have such distinct and different personalities. I've read other books where the personalities start off different and then merge somewhere and it's hard sometimes to distinguish between them. Not with this author. I binge read this book on audible which is a blessing and a curse because there's still 4 or so more books in the series so far and they are bound to be just as long and I've been living on only a few hours of sleep because I just couldn't wait to hear what happened next!!! So much suspense and excitement and still so many mysteries to unravel.

Could Not Get Enough & I Want More!!

I really love this book, from my title already know I love it.

Once I start listening I could not put it down and again (the title) could not get enough of this book.

I am so happy book 2 and 3 are coming out soon. Already pre-ordered book 2 (CANT WAIT). Also, I visited the author's website to see how many chapters the author is planning to write, and lucky me 15 Chapters!! Trust Me I am getting them all, don't doubt me.

Please B. L. Brunnermer is your reading this, I hope:
1. You make all 15 chapters available for me to purchase & listen; and
2. Never ever EVER change the Narrators.

****Thrilling****

I have read so many YA stories and i thought their all the same etc. but this book totally captivates me and freaks me out (seeing ghosts) it's easy to read fast paced and exciting. The narrative is excellent. i just wished the male narrator did all the male voice from the beginning.

A fun new series to follow.

We’ll read and a sweet sometime touching and sometimes funny story with good characters and an interesting premise. Well worth reading and I look forward to reading more or listening to more of the same series.
