Supernatural beings and chaos descend on the small seaside town of Lovesend, Massachusetts, in the wake of the unexpected return of three missing teenagers.
Laura, Daniel and Mo disappeared without trace a year ago. They have long been presumed dead. Which they were. But now they are not. And it is up to the resurrected teenagers to discover what happened to them.
Revived by Mr Anabin - the man they knew as their high school music teacher - they are offered a chance to return to the mortal realm. But first they must solve the mystery of their death and learn to use the magic they now possess. And only two of them may stay.
What they do not realise is their return has upset a delicate balance that has held - just - for centuries.

I wanted to love this book so so badly. The concept and story idea is amazing and ground breaking for me. The way to get there was a drag. At least the first half of the book was just dragging the story along too much and made it hard to get through it. It felt like an eternity to get through it. After that it gets easier, the pacing picks up and we are getting a few plot twists that make it end in a somewhat enjoyable read.My favourite chapter out of the whole book is "The book of Maryanne". I sobbed while reading that one, it was brilliant. I had high hopes for the book that sadly weren't fulfilled. I still don't regret picking it up and reading it.
