Galley: Yes
Nominate for Teens’ Top 10: Yes
Annotation: Haven Moore can't wait to leave her small-town life to go to New York to discover the meaning behind the visions of a past life she sees. However, when she arrives there, mystery and danger follow her everywhere she goes.
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: Haven Moore has spent her entire life living in small-town Tennessee with her overbearing, god-fearing grandmother. Haven has memories of a past life, and dreams of escaping to New York to unravel the mysteries haunting her.
Compelling Aspect of the book: This is an awesome book. The characters are compelling and well-developed. Haven's desperation to discover who she was and why she died is palpable, and kept me guessing -literally- until the last page. The book itself ends on an ambiguous note, and I for one hope there will be a sequel.
Did it reflect the contents: The current cover of this book is very nice. It's quite simple, red, black, and white. It's aesthetically pleasing, but not super eye-catching. It wouldn't jump out at me if it was on a shelf with lots of other books.
