About this listen

My name is Alexis Delaney, and I'm your average 17-year-old girl. Except I'm a Necromancer. Which means I can see the dead, talk to them, and help them move on. Well, I used to be able to. Someone has sealed the Veil. Now the dead are stuck here. And with the extra energy floating around town, the ghosts are getting stronger.

It's been two months since I came to Spring Mountain to live with Uncle Rory. And the guys, my five best friends, have done everything they can to help since. Things, for once, were almost normal; my issues with the dead had become routine. Until they all found girlfriends.

Now I'm back to hiding everything again. With ghosts leaving their haunting grounds at will and new people asking questions as I try to build my link to the Veil, I don't know how the hell I'm going to pull this one off. But it can't get that bad, right?

Book 2

I love the long hours listening to the story. I so do not mind Book 3 and the author's future series to be over 10 hours long.

So Book 2 is a slow build with Lexi dealing with the veil, I personally like it because it leaves more story time with Lexi and all the boys.

Based from the summary we all know the boys have girlfriends now. (SPOILER ALLERT) So there lies the drama, it goes from one guy's girlfriend to the next. The drama was frustrating to listen not because the author or narrator did anything wrong. It was frustrating cos I wanted to punch some of the boys's girlfriend (I know it is just a book) and Lexi having to deal with the girls drama all on her own.

Although we know the books are majority based on Lexi's POV but at the near ending of both books, the author shows another POV from the guys. I like this kind of writing because it shows us more inside to what the boy(s) are thinking.

On top of that, Lexi also have to deal with the souls who are getting stronger. For a 17 year old girl having to deal with so many stuff and in Book 1 shows us Lexi had to be a grown up cos her mother can't take care of herself, so Lexi had to be the adult. Which makes her very mature for a 17 year old.

Anyway, I seriously hope Book 3 will be out ASAP please. I am looking forward to my next hit.

Lastly, I must show my appreciation to the narrators AMAZING JOB, made me so hook into the story.

I loved this book. It is the second book in the series but no less amazing and full of action. Reading this it can get really easy to get caught up in the emotions shown. I especially loved the point of view shown from the different boys at the end and how it showed true loyalty and love. Lexi is still a bad ass who doesn’t care about what anyone thinks about her but is still an amazing role model for life (except in certain parts where she needed her friends to help). I loved the emotion shown with Dylan and Lexi near the end (for those who have read it you know what I mean) and I even started to tear up for Lexi. This novel allows you to create emotions for different characters on your own, whether you want to kiss the character for being so amazing or strangle them because you just can’t understand why they are doing this - I know I have felt both. This emotion in my opinion is what makes a book great which is why I love it although there is a lot of swearing so if you don’t appreciate that then definitely don’t read this book. Full marks for me though, it is one of my favourite series.

Still so good!!
