Book Summary from Amazon:
Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine
-despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?
Then Delaney meets Troy Varga, who recently emerged from a coma with similar abilities. At first she's reassured to find someone who understands the strangeness of her new existence, but Delaney soon discovers that Troy's motives aren't quite what she thought. Is their gift a miracle, a freak of nature-or something much more frightening?
My Thoughts: Though what seemed to be an interesting adventure, this novel did not really hold my attention all that well. First off, what made Delaney Maxwell all that appealing that practically had every guy running after her? Her overprotective 'friend' Decker, who seems to want more in their relationship, but apparently made a bet in the past with his friends to kiss her? Then there's also Connor, Decker's best friend whom supposedly she kissed but doesn't know where their relationship stands? And now a new character named Troy, which the author seemed to be trying too hard to be mysterious and seems to hold Delaney's interest the most.
Aside from the multiple love interests, after Delaney's accident, it also wasn't really explained why Delaney kept seeing things that no one else saw, that caused a person's death. Overall, the story didn't really hold my attention, I felt the author was trying too hard to be unique and mysterious, and the fact that Delaney couldn't really settle on one boy didn't seem to help much either.
Would I recommend this book: Not really
Rating: I give this book a DNF.
