Dead Beautiful
Renee is a normal teenage girl. Until on her 16th birthday she finds her parents dead in the woods, side by side with gauze in their mouth and coins around their body. She then is transered to the Gottfried Academy. Everything is ok. Then a string of murders, exactly like her parents occur, but strangely enough some of the kids come back to school within a week of being pronounced dead. This book revolves around Rene Descartes Seventh Meditation. With the meaning that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, there are Undead souls lingering. They are called undead because they died before their 21st birthday, which means they are still a kid. If the day the child dies a child is born at the exact same time, the undeads soul is given to that newborn. The undead then has 21 years before they die, and in that time if they find their soul and the person carrying it, they can steal it back and live as a human..making the other person become undead. This is the situation Dante Berlin(undead) and Renee(human) face. They fall in love, realize they have eachothers soul. Renee is willing to give it back so she will become undead and he will live again. But he isn't allowing it. Can true love last?

This sounds like a really good love story. If you haven't already, I would recommend reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. It includes a story about a human and a a thing called a soul who are in love and struggle to make their love last.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really good! They're not that similar, but it kind of reminds me of Pretty Little Liars or the Lying Game books. The part where you said "matter can neither be created or destroyed" really creeped me out. Like does that mean that that matter of humans who are dead is still here but in ghost form? It's a really good point...
