“Obsessed” doesn’t even begin to cover how I feel about this book right now.
Aura, along with the many other people who were born post-Shift, can see and talk to ghosts. On the night of his 17th birthday, Logan, Aura’s boyfriend, dies unexpectedly, and Aura can still see him… but not in the way she wants to. Now she’s stuck between wanting him to be at peace but also wanting him to stay with her forever…
I had this book on my bookshelf for over 12 years, and when I went to unhaul some books, I came across this one and was intrigued.
It was definitely an easy read (read it in less than a day), and I love that it’s fantasy/paranormal. I was literally so engrossed in this story that I forgot I was reading. I felt like I was actually in the story, witnessing everything firsthand. My heart felt everything the characters felt, and I cried no less than 10 times while reading this.
I’m not a fan of love triangles, but I thought this one was done semi-well (Aura did make me mad with how fast she got over the death of her boyfriend, though).
I honestly can’t believe I didn’t read this book any sooner, since I bought it back when I was in high school. I’m going to need book 2… immediately.
Favorite quote: “I have to let you go, so that one of us can live.”
