Book Description:
The fate of the world is not something a girl wants on her shoulders, and that is especially true for Lorelei McAlister. Unfortunately for her, that is exactly where the world’s fate has decided to take up residence. Lorelei has seen firsthand the horrors that lie beneath our everyday world. And those horrors are getting her friends killed. Because of this, she agrees to leave the sanctity of her hometown and is sent to a different world entirely. A boarding school. But even here she is being watched. Someone knows what she is. What she carries inside her soul. And on top of that she’s seeing visions. This is nothing new for Lorelei. But these visions are something more:death, destruction, and the end of the world . Lorelei must face the fact that there are people who want her dead, and no matter where she goes, no matter how far she runs, the lives of her friends and family are in mortal peril. Lucky for her, her friends and family include the handsome Angel of Death, a fiercely protective half-angel, and a ragtag group of loyal supporters who aren’t afraid to get a little dirty in the name of fighting pure evil.
Review:
Watch out world Darynda Jones is taking over and death has never looked so hot!
If you have not picked up the first book Death and the Girl Next Door you are seriously missing out! This 3rd book is just well amazing and is defiantly my favorite! The twists in this story will throw you for a loop and you really have to take a moment to stop and think before you have that AH HA moment! Well at least I did anyway. I personally love a book that makes you think and boy I did not see a few things coming that surprised the hell out of me. yes there is a little romance and a lot more action from the start of this book then the last ones. Oh and yes you will want to bring Tissues because I know I cried a little reading this and was a little devastated till I fished the book to tell you the truth.
Death, Destruction, and the end of the world really sums up what this books is about and all hell breaks loose literately. No matter how far Lorelei runs away she can not escape her destiny or without someone trying to killer her either. If this person succeeds in killing her the world will end and it wont be pretty. Help will come from the most unlikely of places and she must do everything in her power to save the world and everyone she loves.
I don't want to go into too much detail because I want you to go out and read it for yourself. So now off you go read it you know you want to!
