What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.

Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.

Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.

Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.

He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

When I read the synopsis for Existence, I knew right away, this book was right up my alley. It was written by my favorite author, Abbi Glines, so I knew I wanted to read anything by her, but this book was very different from the others that she has written and it is AMAZING!!!

“Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them.

Weird concept right? It totally worked. The relationship between Pagan and the mysterious soul with the sexy smirk, amazing. The roller coaster of emotions this book brings you is truly an awesome ride. One emotion hat you will not feel with this book is boredom.

I loved all the characters in this book, and they all seemed very real, like people you would know, or went to high school with. I love how in the beginning of this book, Pagans best friend Miranda is crushing hardcore of the football star, Leif, then as the story goes on, Leif and Pagan become an item. Isn’t that usually how that ends up? Anyway, it worked out great, no hurt feelings, and I won’t say anymore for I do not want to spoil it. I like the interesting twist that Pagan can see spirits, and I love how right away, the one mystery spirit talks to her right away. The story moves along very well, no slow spots.

The ending of this book, I literally said “shut up” as I read it. What an awesome way to end the book, but also what the heck?! It makes waiting for the second book very hard, but totally worth the wait. I am so excited to see what happens in the next book! Amazing job!!!
