Supernatural beings and chaos descend on the small seaside town of Lovesend, Massachusetts, in the wake of the unexpected return of three missing teenagers.

Laura, Daniel and Mo disappeared without trace a year ago. They have long been presumed dead. Which they were. But now they are not. And it is up to the resurrected teenagers to discover what happened to them.

Revived by Mr Anabin - the man they knew as their high school music teacher - they are offered a chance to return to the mortal realm. But first they must solve the mystery of their
death and learn to use the magic they now possess. And only two of them may stay.

What they do not realise is their return has upset a delicate balance that has held - just - for centuries.

First Impressions

Why yes I do want to know what Kelly Link’s first novel will be like I’ve read some of their short stories which are lyrical and intelligent so what will this book offer the reader?

The chapter I have read of this book is named The book of Susannah and it was absolutely gorgeous and pulls you in and wants more. We meet Susannah who is missing very terribly her sister Laura who has vanished without so far any details shared with us but its left a terrible imprint on the rest of her family. Link makes you feel Laura having to be the good girl now her sister is gone. We feel her loss as we watch her go through her sister’s things now they are hers. Its emotional, its mysterious and you want to know more. I love a well written chapter and this just pulls you in to know more.

I am intrigued and very keen to learn more!
