Rating: 5 out of 5

Possession, ghosts, romance, drama, dealing with death of loved ones.This book caught me off guard a couple of times. There were several different layers to the story.Firstly there is a lot of confusion on who Kenzie is, the most prominent plot line that pushes the story forward.Secondly the decision that Jodi made to date the best friend of her last love, Jeremy. The story behind how Jodi and Jeremy was more like soul mates than a lot of teen love triangle factor. I knew that something had to happen when it was found that she was now dating his best friend Sawyer. There had to be some uncomfortable conversations there!Thirdly there was the story of the death of her father. And the draw Jodi kept having towards the psychic center and things being moved around her bedroom suspiciously ghost like behavior.Throughout the book Jodi has a constant atmosphere of mystery and saddness that surrounds her. I found myself wondering why she was drawn to Sawyer, he seemed to be hiding something or not ever telling her the full truth. Very suspicious behavior especially surrounding his band.As the story behind Jeremy, how they met, fell in love and eventually broke was so sad! It's true that sometimes you just cannot help who you fall in love with. It's a real story of true love.Jodi had lost her father tragically and she missed him so much that it was my first conclusion to think when the idea of ghosts appeared that it had to be him trying to contact her. There is much more to the story and some twists that I definately did not see coming.I think this is one of my favorite books so far from this author. Even though I just finished reading it this week, I have already added it to my list to read again later this year. Something that I don't do very often, but it's one of those stories that tend to resonate with me and would like to visit again.
