I absolutely loved this book. It was a very unique take on what happens to one's soul in the afterlife; specifically what happens to those who commit suicide for selfish or wrong reasons.You have Dan Jenkins who commited suicide during college after a failed relationship left him feeling hurt and bent on revenge. He commited suicide mainly to leave Sandra feeling guilty for the way their relationship ended.After passing, Dan finds himself in what he calls the "Great Whatever", a place in between-a place where he lives with only his memories until a door opens and he wakes up in a new body until he is "kick(ed)" out.His first trip takes him to a body of a serial killer, the second to a Neo-Nazi biker part of a neferious gang, the third trip to junkie killer and the last trip leads to a lottery won millionaire. With a past that comes to haunt the host Dan possesses, you follow a story of betrayal that allows Dan to grow as a character and you are able to see how Dan's own past crosses with his host's(Nate's) life.I read this and I could tell the author had a very special love for this story. This is a story not to be missed. It's definitely a ride full of suspense. I hope there is a sequel of a sort one day as I feel Dan's story is just beginning.
