Synopsis:
Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine
-despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?
Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?
For fans of best-sellers like Before I Fall and If I Stay, this is a fascinating and heart-rending story about love and friendship and the fine line between life and death.
Why I Want to Read it: I've always been intrigued with books that discuss near death experiences. There have been people whos hearts have stopped but yet they come back to life after a few minutes. What happens to those people when they return back to our world? This book flirts with the idea of a young women obtaining special powers because of her near death experience. The nerd in me finds this really cool. It has a 4.1 rating on Goodreads which is a good sign. Of course there is a love story, what would the YA genre be without it. It seems like it will be a heart tugging story without being depressing, I really prefer that to the moody books.

Welcome to WoW!
ReplyDeleteI've always been intrigued by Near Death experiences too! Have you ever read Stork by Wendy Delsol? Same thing, but with a different kind of cool paranormal twist. (:
