The Sary are souls of children who died before taking their first breath. Their job is to help people who are suicidal. They take their positions seriously, with a set of rules and a secret society that monitors activities of each Sary. Julia is a Sary. Her current assignment is to help a girl who has lost her mother and who was in an abusive relationship with an ex-boyfriend.Julia is on edge, though. She's haunted by memories of her first and only love, a Sary named Derek, and she feels responsible for his death. She promised him that she'll always remain a Sary, although her emotional turmoil might cause negative attention to the point that her immortality will be stripped away. Also, there's a new boy in town, Edison, and Julia senses something both familiar and odd about his presence. Julia is in danger, both from the present with someone out to harm her and from the past since she holds onto painful memories.This is an amazing paranormal novel. I like the concept of The Sary. They're like guardian angels, but different. There was a lot of suspense and emotion in this novel as the reader follows Julia both in the 1800's and modern times. I'd love to read the rest of the series.
