Faceless is Brandt Cross,  Dez's cousin's story.  Brandt is a "Six."  He is also a "soul jumper."  What that means is that when he dies, he jumps into the soul of the Six that is closest to him at the time of his death.  Not only does he take over their body, he also inherits whatever ability that Six has.  After his cousin Dez becomes deathly ill, Brandt goes in undercover to try to find a cure for Dez and other Six's in the same predicament.  His assignment ends up involving quite a bit more than he anticipated, so needles to say, things get dangerous and complicated, especially when a certain girl enters the picture.I found Faceless to be a great installment in the Denazen series.  Being a novella, it doesn't take very long to read.  There was quite a bit of action from beginning to end, as there is in all the books in the series.  I really like Brandt's character.  He has a great sense of humor, and he is an all-around great guy.  I loved his inner rants and the pep talks that he gives to himself.  The love interest in this book is Devin, another Six, who forms a bond with Brandt....the only problem is that Brandt is living in Cain's body, which is definitely a little more than a "bump in the road."  Of course there is plenty of action, danger, and intrigue in the story.  Overall, Faceless is an enjoyable novella, and I really liked getting to know Brandt better.  I am also really looking forward to reading Tremble, the next book in the seriesFavorites:When I was a kid, I imagined death was a lot like Saturday morning cartoons.  Fluffy clouds and harps.  People zooming around with super-charged wings on their backs.  Then as I got older, my idea of death changed.  I was a good guy, so I'd have to be heaven-bound, and heaven meant daily brews with Tony Hawk, Sunday brunch with the family, and all the peanut butter cookies I could eat presented on platters offered by large-breasted Hooter's girls.I hated this place.  Usually ripe with overly buff, shirtless men wearing everything from neon-colored Speedos to pink loin cloths, Ginger Midlen's head was the poster place for ick.
