Mara can't remember that night. She doesn't know why she wakes up in the hospital or why her best friend, Rachel, hasn't been there to visit. She keeps asking what happened, but all anyone can tell her is that the building collapsed. She is the only survivor. But why was she there in that building? Why are Rachel, Jude, and Claire dead? She decides that it would be better to relocate than to have to face her community. Her family moves from Rhode Island to Florida to try and help her heal. Everything is fine until she starts having hallucinations. She sees Jude and Claire everywhere, hears their voices. What is wrong with her? Is she going crazy? At her new school she meets Noah, the infamous bad boy of the school. He is the boy every girl wants, but he has his sites set on Mara. Despite her best efforts, she can't deny what she feels for him either. They soon learn that their may be other forces drawing them together.

This is one of the most interesting books that I have read in a long time. I honestly had no idea what this book was about when I started reading it. I kind of expected the normal teenage angst and romance type of story, but this book is anything but normal. The characters are wonderful. The story is full of twists and turns. Every time you think you may have the story figured out, you are wrong. This is the kind of book that sucks you in from the first sentence and doesn't let you go even when its done. The ending of this book was a HUGE shock. There is no possible way to have seen that coming. I am so excited to read the next installment of this series.
