Sixteen-year-old Cassie McCoy would do anything to contact George—her best
friend and secret
crush—beyond the grave, including dabbling in dark magic. But
her “powers” are stuck in neutral. Everyone is on her case to move on with her
life. And there’s a lot she never knew about George—or so says a mysterious,
familiar-looking stranger who may not only be the key to George’s hidden past
but, if the storm clouds align just right, the means of delivering Cassie’s
bittersweet goodbye.
My Review: When I first spotted this book on Amazon (for free I might add!) I was overly excited. I generally gravitate towards books that have to do with special powers and the like. However when I began reading the book, I was thoroughly confused. There was way to much information thrown at you in the first chapter, even after finishing I'm still not one hundred percent sure who one of the characters are. I also found that there were a lot of unnecessary characters and circumstances within the novel. I almost stopped reading after the first couple chapters but I persevered and pushed my way through the book. Towards the middle of the book, the plot completely shifted from Cassie trying to contact her dead friend George to a investigative mission. That part to me was way better then the beginning but my view of the book soon changed yet again when there was another story change involving Russian Spies. By the end of the book I felt like I have read excerpts from three different books. None of it seemed to really fit together, though the author did make connections between the parts I didn't feel like it flowed. I think that if Bloom had stuck with one major plot then it would have been a great story but there was too much extra and outlandish circumstances for my taste.
