After a serial killer brutally
murdered them, Rory and her family wound up in limbo in a summer island called
Juniper Landing without knowing they were dead. Destined to forever usher
others into entering the afterlife, Rory is labeled a Lifer. Something,
however, is not right. One of the Lifers is sick of wants out no matter the
cost and is trying to put the blame on Rory. Forced to prove her innocence,
Rory must find out who is sending spirits, good and evil, to the Shadowlands,
the place where there’s no way back. If she fails, she will be she’ll be sent
there herself. Can Rory restore the balance of good and evil and save herself?
Although the characters are a
little shallow and hard to keep track of, the natural dialogue helps to
distinguish them and help readers to relate to them. Like the first one, the
plot drags in places and isn’t quite as suspenseful, readers who like intrigue
and mystery will enjoy reading this book. It is best, howeer, to read the first
book before reading this one. MS, HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services
