Hovac’s character gave the reminder that things do happen for a reason… no matter how difficult they may be.Īs for the main characters….

Hadleys deal with Death ended up helping her save not just someone else’s mental health, but her own as well. I was hooked from the start, especially when the morbid characters of Death and Hovac were introduced. Not the normal book I’d find on my TBR list, but def worth the read. Hadley must decide whether she is ready to risk everything-including her life-to keep Archer alive.

But just as she and Archer connect, a series of dangerous accidents starts pushing them apart. Time ticks away as Hadley looks for ways to not only talk to Archer but to know him on a deeper level. But when Hadley agrees to Death's terms and goes back to right the past, she quickly learns her mission is harder than she ever could have known. If Hadley accepts, she will be sent back twenty-seven days in time to prevent Archer from killing himself. There, she is approached by a man who calls himself Death and offers her a deal. Hoping to find some sense of closure, Hadley attends Archer's funeral. She didn't know the quiet, reserved guy very well, but that doesn't stop her from feeling there was something she could have done to help him. Hadley Jamison is shocked when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, has committed suicide. 'If you knew you had to do the right thing, but that something bad may happen to you because of it, would you do it anyway?' This hard-hitting, emotional, YA story of pain and love right and wrong and life and death is a masterful mix of suspense, romance, the paranormal, and the though-provoking questions we all ask surrounding the difficult subject of suicide.
