Cassidy Ramirez is a very headstrong girl who doesn't care what anyone thinks of her and likes to fall under the radar, which can be hard sometimes since she sees and speaks to ghosts. it becomes even more difficult when she falls in love with a ghost. Now she must embrace her gift of seeing ghosts instead of loathing what she is. When a small town's outcast and the most popular boy in school somehow find themselves deeply and helplessly in love-the classic love twist for any sappy teenage plot-there are bound to be complications. In these types of relationships, the complication varies from skin color to the clash between dirt poor and filthy rich. But for Cassidy and Taylor it's the small predicament that one of them is missing a pulse. Since Cassidy was thirteen she's had the ability to see the dead-a gene passed down from her father. Like the saying goes, it takes one to know one, she had become much of a ghost herself. Being such an outsider, Taylor never paid any attention Cassidy's existence until his untimely death. But when he dies they share both an unbreakable friendship and irrevocable love. Cassidy was brought up knowing that the human world and the paranormal world she lived in unknowingly coexist. But she learns on the bumpy road of love that some know of this coexistence and seek to decimate people who can see and speak to the dead. They call themselves the Saviors and they are out to get Cassidy and her family. Now that she is on a death list and secretly fallen for a ghost, she must find a way to stop the group of killers in the sleepy town of Greene Shores and save her untimely love from the iron jaws of death which he has evidently already met. Only one factor led me to make such a rash and unbelievable decision-Taylor Montgomery, of course. It wasn't very smart to fall in love with a ghost, but I could feel how deep in I was. It boiled in my blood and kindled in my heart. Whenever I saw him, a flame ignited in the pit of my stomach and I found it impossible to think. I was helplessly in love with him.
