Daisy has died five times, and been brought back to life five times through a drug that revives dead children.  After her latest death, Daisy and her agent parents, Mason and Cassie, move to Omaha where Daisy for the first time in her life has a best friend and a boyfriend.  Her best friend is battling cancer and Daisy starts to understand what death really looks like.  While at the mall with her friends, Daisy is seen by a girl, Nora, from her old city who thought she was dead.  Quickly after that sighting, Daisy finds out that Nora was killed in a car accident and then administered the drug and brought back to life.  Daisy becomes concerned about this government program and its intentions, and when she involves Mason in her concerns they find themselves fighting for their lives.  

I couldn’t put this book down.  It is written well and the character development isn’t sacrificed for the good of the mystery.  Fun read.
