Editorial reviews

Pagan Moore is just having a regular day in her senior year of high school - chatting with her girlfriends at her locker, avoiding the undead "wandering souls" who have stalked her for years - when she encounters a strange boy with smoldering good looks. He is also dead and visible only to her, but unlike the other souls in her life, he can speak. In the first book of Abbi Glines's Existence trilogy, the young adult heroine finds herself torn between love and death. Ashley Litz performs the audiobook with the exaggerated dialogue and emotion befitting melodramatic teenagers - and paranormal romance.

Publisher's summary

What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course. Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him. Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face.

Problem is, she knows he's dead. Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all. He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

Love the Story!

I really enjoyed this story and the narration is "mostly" good but her Miranda voice makes me wince and her whiny Pagan voice is a bit irritating.

story is awesome!

the story line was great. twist and turns in any direction and keeps you wanting more. although one problem is the narrator. the valley girl with a lisp kinda gets annoying but other than that. great book.

Overdramatic and sub-par narration

I wanted to like this book but the characters were overdramatic, even for teens, and the narration of secondary characters was horrific.

At times PAINFUL

I think the story would have been enjoyable if there was a different narrator. One of her 'voices' was literally painful for my ears especially while wearing earbuds. OUCH

Meh...

Struggled to finish. It was a cute story, but somewhat drawn out. Strange transition going from the Rosemary Beach series to this book. I noticed similarities with the author's writing style, but just wasn't my speed. Didn't leave me wanting more.

Romantic and very cool!

I loved this book! It is romantic, has supernatural characters, mystery. It is a great read! I sat in my garage, outside of stores to just hear a little bit more. Highly recommended.

Decent story

I like the story in the main characters. However there were certain times where I wanted to shut off the recording because of the sound of Miranda’s voice.
