Pagan Moore is your average teenage girl. She has two best friends called Miranda and Wyatt and lives with her mom. Well that's about as average as she gets because you see, Pagan can dead people. Not like in the "Sixth Sense". They're more like lost souls wandering around and they never speak. She tries her best to act as if she can't see them or she just draws more attention to herself.
That works pretty well until one day a certain soul talks to her, she does her best to act as if she can't hear him but somehow he knows she can see him. She wants to know what he wants but he won't tell her why he's around and seems just as confused as her as to why she can see souls.
Pagan ends up being a mentor for Leif, the most popular a good looking boy in her year at school. Well everyone seems to think so apart from her. Pagan has no interest in boys and definitely has no interest in Leif, in fact she has her own views on him which include over confidence and arrogance. So it's fair to say that Pagan is not very happy about this situation.
When she lets her views be known to Leif he seems quite shocked and hurt at her outburst. She goes home only to be scolded by her mom because of her coldness at Leif's situation and also learns that he is dyslexic which is why he needs her help. The next day she apologizes and does her best to make amends which Leif is only too happy to do.
Throughout helping Leif, Pagan becomes closer to him and actually does some of his work when he doesn't turn up to one of his sessions only to find out he was with Kendra, his ex. Feeling embarassed and used she storms out of the cafeteria in school. Before she leaves the school the soul who she knows as Dank does his best to persuade her to stay, practically pleading with her.
Of course she ignores him and leaves, getting into her car to go home. Only that doesn't happen. She ends up being in a car crash and almost dies. She should have died. But she doesn't because Dank saves her.
It turns out Dank isn't a soul. He's a Deity. The Deity of Death. Pagan was supposed to die, she was fated to but he saved her and there must be consequences to follow his actions. Dank enrolls at her school to protect her from strong and dangerous forces and she begins to develop feelings for him, the Deity of Death.
Whilst trying to manage her building attraction for Dank she tries to make her relationship with Leif work unknown that there is more than on power after her soul. Will Dank succeed in keeping her safe?
He is forced to leave her all alone to protect her. But no one is there to protect her from herself. How can she survive without the one being she knows she loves with her whole soul? When she finds out she has the power to save him at her expense what will she do?
This book is absolutely fantastic! It is one of my all time favorites I can read it over and over again without getting bored. Every page had me on edge, I couldn't wait to read whatever was on the next page. This book inspired such great emotion in me and I felt completely bonded to the characters as if I knew them. 5 star rating from me!!!
Read the other books in this trilogy, Predestined and Ceaseless!
