This book changed my thoughts on Life, Death, and what happens in between.

I would have given this five stars in a second... if only that grave had been empty...

I've often wondered about what happens between life and death, is there some pretty train station waiting to take you on your way, is there nothing, is there a world that makes your nightmares look tame to make you crazed while you're waiting? I don't know...

After reading this book I'm more confused than ever but this story was downright amazing, I read the book in a day and a half and I couldn't put it down. The story had me hooked from the cover, reading the blurb I thought why now, and then the book, ohh my the book, it was amazing, dark, exotic, murderous, all of the things I never know I need in a good book.

The things the "children" went through, that day in the car, the father knowing, and Grey manipulating him, that scene just makes me think about what could have been and how important Grey knowing how to use her power was.

Getting to the end, realizing who had been trying to kill them and what their mother knew, that just sucked the air right out of me, I guess in her case something really was better than nothing.

The book itself is amazing, the descriptions used, they're so realistic, I could see the places in my mind, I could almost smell the smells they were described so well. The scenes set up in the book were their own character, each place they visited, Greys first apartment, the second apartment with the kitchen with the bookshelf and the tile floor, the in-between, they really were all characters, without them the book would have fallen flat, with them I was swept into this world of magic and the unknown.

I can't wait to read this one again.
