Daisy McDaniel, was her real name before she died for the first time in a bus crash that apparently wasn't really an accident. Daisy with twenty other kids -- she loved to call bus kids -- died in the crash and were brought back to live under the Revive Program -- which is a drug used -- that was still undergoing test and expetriment -- to bring back a dead person back alive. The drug but only worked on a healthy body before dead, that excluded cancer patient; Daisy's friend Audrey, the sister to a boy she had catched feeling on in English class -- Matt -- and because of that Daisy didn't want anymore relocation to take place in her life. Her whole point of view shifted when she realized that Revive experiment didn't even consider any other medical option on a patient once they were put under it -- if it worked it worked, if not, then dead was consider it. The appearance of case 22, had Daisy come with a theory that in end revealed the whole grusome of the person behind this program whom they called 'God', and she was once again faced with death.

_______

I find that the story revolved equally balance in between romance and sci-fi through out its storyline, though I think that romance took more of the story than the thrill of the idea of a program like Revive. I think the story could still expand more into the conflict of the test, the people involved -- other that the bus kids -- like the disciples, and 'God' and Cassie themselves, though mentioned that the two were already in custody, I still think that too many informations were lacking about them whilst I think that the two are quiet charismatic antagonists. The book indeed has far more potential thrill and mystery in it.
