    Nice change from the usual paranormal stories

    While I love vampires, it's always nice to change things up and Near Death was a nice, paranormal change. The characters were quite the typical teenagers. (Aya is an absolute sweetheart.) They all reacted to the situation they were in rawly, made mistakes, refused to discuss mistakes, and have their moody and/or impulsive teenage moments which often led to the mistakes. LOL Definitely reminded me of my teenage years... Minus the death Gods. ;) I was eager to turn the page and find out how it would end (which made me cry a little,) and look forward to a sequel.

    The Autumn Review for Near Death

    Summary:
    When Aya and her brother are almost hit by a bus, classmate Gabriel saves them from death. How did he know this would happen? Why...death of course. Christoph is a Death Angel sent to take Aya. The thing is, that Aya reminds Christoph of his lost love. So, he tells Gabriel to save her. With the help of new friends Jackson, Gabriel's sister Marisol, and Sara, the group sets out to discover why this chain of events is happening since this isn't the first time Aya has escaped death. When Christoph is punished for saving Aya, a new Angel of Death comes to town. Can the group uncover the reasons for the new Angel coming to town?

    My Take:
    My first thought is that there is a lot going on in this book. I liked the characters and I like the overall plot, but the flow was a bit chaotic to me. I think I felt like too much happened to the group and keeping up with what was going on to each character was a bit confusing at times. That being said, I did like the back stories of the characters and I liked how that history was worked into the overall story. I enjoyed seeing how the relationships developed between the characters and felt that it was appropriate for their age group. I liked the ending and am very curious to see where the group goes from this point. Near Death was a fast read and kept my attention. 3.5 out of 5 stars
