But for Cassidy and Taylor it s the small predicament that one of them is missing a pulse. Since Cassidy was thirteen she's had the ability to see the dead a gene passed down from her father. Like the saying goes, it takes one to know one, she had become much of a ghost herself. Being such an outsider, Taylor never paid any attention Cassidy s existence until his untimely death. But when he dies they share both an unbreakable friendship and irrevocable love. Cassidy was brought up knowing that the human world and the paranormal world she lived in unknowingly coexist. But she learns on the bumpy road of love that some know of this coexistence and seek to decimate people who can see and speak to the dead.

Now that she is on a death list and secretly fallen for a ghost, she must find a way to stop the group of killers in the sleepy town of Greene Shores and save her untimely love from the iron jaws of death which he has evidently already met. Only one factor led me to make such a rash and unbelievable decision Taylor Montgomery, of course. It wasn't very smart to fall in love with a ghost, but I could feel how deep in I was.
