What if you were some kind of disembodied spirit, moving from host to host, living life through other people’s bodies, but never having a life of your own? What if you didn’t know what you truly are, let alone who you are? Could you find happiness or love?
A minute ago, she was Claire, who just fell back in love with her husband, Tom, but before she left, she broke her number one rule – she got attached. Now she’s Sydney, a troubled young woman who got involved with a dangerous gang that won’t let her leave – at least, not alive. Sydney’s spirit is so broken that she takes a backseat to her body’s new spirit inhabitant, offering no help or even information.
Alone in a strange body, cast adrift with only her own wits and insecurities, a nameless spirit once again breaks all her own rules. She falls in love, knowing that any second, and without warning, she may end up in another body – either part of God’s plan or some cruel joke. She’s pretty sure she’s there to help Sydney, but why oh why can’t she have a little something for herself?
Abithica’s selflessness and hopeless longing stole my heart. She took me on an emotional journey through hope, despair, horror, and love.
The fantasy elements strengthened and intensified the love story, creating a magical blending of genres. I highly recommend this book to lovers of fantasy and romance.
