Publisher Description
In this gripping exploration of a futuristic afterlife, a teen discovers that death is just the beginning. Since her untimely death the day before her eighteenth birthday, Felicia Ward has been trapped in Level 2, a stark white afterlife located between our world and the next. Along with her fellow drones, Felicia passes the endless hours reliving memories of her time on Earth and mourning what she’s lost—family, friends, and Neil, the boy she loved. Then a girl in a neighboring chamber is found dead, and nobody but Felicia recalls that she existed in the first place. When Julian—a dangerously charming guy Felicia knew in life—comes to offer Felicia a way out, Felicia learns the truth: If she joins the rebellion to overthrow the Morati, the angel guardians of Level 2, she can be with Neil again. Suspended between Heaven and Earth, Felicia finds herself at the center of an age-old struggle between good and evil. As memories from her life come back to haunt her, and as the Morati hunt her down, Felicia will discover it’s not just her own redemption at stake… but the salvation of all mankind.

"Though it was a good read, it was a little slow for me. Jumping back and forth between times and sceneries, I expected it be to confusing but it was not. Slow for me because there wasn't much action but good read because of the character builds and the strong emotions. Over all I enjoyed the book. There was a lot of back and forth from the past and present because she was accessing her memories. Reminds me a lot of The Lovely Bones."

" Great premise, poorly executed. I couldn't get past the first few chapters. "
— Lucy, 1/27/2014 -
" Meh.. I was seriously unimpressed with this title. The flashbacks were better than the current story.. and some of the flashbacks were pretty lame. "

" Nothing new (angels good and bad, nice guy / bad guy and the heroine, obnoxious! "
— Maritina, 12/26/2013 -
" I loved this. As usual, I shook the Nook for extra pages. Sadly, there were none. I will have to re-read this since I really feel like I missed something. But I highly reccomend this book. "
— Leigh, 10/18/2013 -
" Coming 2013. A YA book with a new twist - Purgatory. Love, pain, death & coming to terms with your actions in life. "
— Shara, 10/1/2013 -
" I'm not saying the book is badly written, because it's really not. The storyline and plot just didn't interest me that much. My random thoughts while reading this were mostly "Oh this seems like a Dan Brown book for teen girls." So I think really, it just wasn't my cup of tea. "
— Rachael, 8/7/2013 -
" original and contemplative "
— Bvasc, 6/28/2013 -
" Kind of not my thing, but okay. "
— Ems, 4/11/2013 -
" I'm leaning between 3.5 and 4 stars for this one. While parts were predictable, I was pleasantly surprised by other bits. All together it was pretty good. "
