This is the second book in the
Dead Beautiful series. Renee is a
Monitor, a person who can feel the Undead around her, and she goes to a special
school so that she can learn how to take care of reburying the Undead. The problem, in this second book, however, is
that Renee has died and been brought back to life as well, and she should also
be Undead, but is not because the person who brought her back to life, Dante, also
shares her soul. Dante and Renee
love each other but can’t be together, and they are searching for a solution
for their shared soul. Renee has two new
friends from her new school, Noah and Anya, who help her follow clues that should
lead them to the secret of immortality, which Renee hopes will allow her and
Dante to be together.
This is a typical
second book in a series, in the fact that it feels like a bridge between the
first book and a conclusion. The ending
totally leaves the reader hanging and annoyed that the third book isn’t out
yet. The characters are okay, but the
story is creepy and exciting, making it hard to put down. This is a good book for girls who like
supernatural trilogies set in boarding schools, along the lines of the Hex Hall
and Haven series.
