Aargh!!!!!!!
A Cliffhanger!!!!!!!
It ended with a cliffhanger!

If you can't remember book 1 (Dead Beautiful), please read it before you start this.

This book started off weak.
It was spooky at first, soon turned to boring but the story picked up soon enough and it engaged us into the suspense, mystery and romance.
It left me with goosebumps throughout till the very end.
This is indeed a very beautiful story.

"Just one kiss will take your breath away.." - Dead Beautiful

Renée Winters is a Monitor* and she has changed.
Everyone is speculating her as the "immortal".
In Dead Beautiful, she died last May, and was brought back to life by the kiss of her Undead* soul mate, Dante Berlin. No one knows the secret except them.
*Monitor - a person who can sense the Undead and put them to "rest".
*Undead - a person who'd died before the age of twenty-one without a burial or cremation, and had thus reanimated. (In other words, zombified). Doom to wander the earth in search of the person his soul had been reincarnated into, and take it back through a kiss before their bodies decay.

What sucks? They are soul-mates and the star-crossed lovers are finding ways to be together again before Dante run out of time.

After the death of a teacher at Gottfried Academy. Renée is sent to Montreal to attend a school for the Monitors.
If being apart from Dante isn't enough, she is now sent away from Dante with no means of telling him so.

Sent to a foreign place, separated from family and friends, Renée has to start afresh and try to find a solution to being with Dante.

Renée is now caught in dreams/visions triggered by some subjects or places.
It seems to be a solution for her situation.
A mystery about Les Neuf Soeurs, or the Nine Sisters.
About IMMORTALITY.

There weren't much scenes of Dante with Renée but it never fails to give us a heart stopping/fluttering feeling even if it is just a secret message left by Dante to Renée.
Dante has a mission of his own. Trying to find the solution as well.
All Dante want is to be with Renée, keep her safe and her to trust him.

In the new school, Renée met Anya and Noah.
A very unique friendship between Anya and Renée.
And an uneasy, confusing yet sweet friendship with Noah.
Together, they tried to help Renée to uncover the mystery.

Mystery, confusion, loneliness, doubts, feeling of betrayal, love.
This book really does weird things to me.
It pulled me in, creeped me out, left me breathless and broke my heart.

"I don't believe you." I breathed.
Dante blinked, his chest collapsing as if there were nothing left inside him."
THAT stopped my heart. I thought it had collapsed too.

The ending killed me.
This is just simply amazing.
I am really looking forward to book 3 and I hope to read about Noah and Anya again.
Please. I really like Noah and I don't mean it to break up Dante and Renée.
No. It is purely platonic.
