Book Description: What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.
Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.
Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.
Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.
He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

Book review:
For starters, do you see that book cover? Do you see it? Its GORGEOUS!
To the point. The heroine, Pagan, is a seventeen year old girl that can see souls for as long as she can remember. Usually she ignores them until one day when she sees a beautiful and sexy soul that speaks to her. Souls never speak to her and she is intrigued, and yet, annoyed by this particular "soul". He is Death and he has come to claim her.
Death has a name, Dank, and he is fascinated with this girl. When he goes to claim a soul he expects that person to see him and to talk to him, its a way for him to ease that persons death and to help his/hers soul move from this plane onto "heaven" to have his/hers chance to be reincarnated. You see, souls are immortal, and when someone dies, his soul has a chance to have another life, if they agree to move on. But Pagan is a new soul, a soul that he remembers from the past. He was supposed to claim her when she was little, yet something changed.
Soon Dank, takes his human form and enrolls in Pagans school. She is surprised that everyone can see him now and she finds her self falling for him.
Leif, is a boy that Pagan never liked. But he has other plans! Pagan starts tutoring him and soon they start dating. I have to say that I felt sorry for Leif on this book since Pagan never returned his feelings. :(
The day of her death comes near and Dank refuses to claim her soul and instead saves her, breaking in the process all the rules he was following until now and someone is pissed!
Pagan and Dunks relationship is very complex but nevertheless I enjoyed reading this book, I really enjoyed Miranda and Wyatt (Pagan best friends) their relationship is very unique, and I kept smiling to my self every time I was reading their dialogues! The book kept surprising me the whole time and its very refreshing to read. Its unique and has some very new ideas that completely change your idea of death. This book has everything! Humor, Love, Friendship, Family.... I just adore it! :)
Next book in this trilogy is Predestined and it was published this year in March 29th 2012.
