BLURB:
My
name is Catalina Franklin. And I should be dead.
When
Death called my number, sending one of her Guides to take my soul, she didn't
count on one thing. The Guide she sent - He was made for me, and I for him.
Pulling me back from the arms of Death, Telor changed my fate - and his. Now
we're left with the question of not only how he's still here, but why. Will we
get the answers we need? Or will Death find us first? Only time will tell...but
ours is quickly running out.

Excerpt:
Every part of me wanted to materialize right in front of
her, to take her in my arms and hold her close. That was the type of
self-serving bastard that I was. Was, I was that man. I could be different now.
She made me want to be different.
“I can’t remember you. I’m trying, but I can’t. I don’t know
how to explain it, but I know there is a you, whatever that means. I can feel
this abstract idea of a you.” She wiped angry tears from her face and took a
deep breath, releasing it in a puff of smoke and wrapping her arms around
herself to help ward off the cold.
“Go in the house, crazy girl,” I said aloud. “You’ll catch
your death out here.”
Her eyes traveled over me, feeling rather than seeing me.
“Good, God.” She rubbed her eyes roughly with the heel of
her hands and let out a cry of frustration. “Look at me, standing in my
backyard, talking to the wind. I’m going crazy. I’m really going crazy. Now,
I’m talking to myself.”
Despite the seriousness of the situation, my lips tilted
upward into a small smile. Wanting to soothe her obvious pain, I made a
split-second decision. I stood and walked toward her so we were standing face
to face, her hot breath exhaling onto my face. I wanted to embrace her and hold
her in my arms.
“You’re not crazy,” I told her, sliding my knuckles down the
side of her face, taking pleasure in the way she closed her eyes and leaned
into my touch.
I believe this is the first time reading by Courtney Houston and I must say I am pretty impressed with the works of this book. Not my normal read by any means but I have been stepping more into this area of reading for awhile now. This book is well balanced with suspense, romance and paranormal that you get a little of it all here which makes this book pretty amazing! The title threw me off some but once you get behind the cover.. well.... you'll have to find out for yourself!
