Summary:
The Girl: Aura Salvatore's winter solstice birth marked a mysterious event called the Shift. Everyone born after the Shift can see and hear ghosts (who appear in violet, for reasons I can't go into here). She lives in Baltimore with her mom, whose law firm specializes in wrongful death suits. Aura translates for the clients, telling the ghosts' side of the grisly stories—not exactly the world’s funnest after-school activity. She's obsessed with figuring out what caused the Shift (or better yet, how to reverse it), and whether it has anything to do with her missing Mystery Dad.

The Boy: Logan Keeley is/was the lead singer in an Irish-flavored punk band he shares with his older sister and brother (think Flogging Molly, junior edition). He wants to be a rock star, and considers death just a speed bump (or maybe even the fast lane) on the road to fame. Logan might be right about that part, but his relationship with Aura is threatened by his new lack of...well, a body. But hey, no more curfews.

The Other Boy: Zachary Moore is a Scottish exchange student who seems to know more about Aura than she knows about herself. He and Aura work together to solve the puzzle of the Shift, which maybe involved a dark ritual at an ancient burial ground such as Stonehenge. In the battle for Aura's heart, Zach gets major points for being alive and very, very solid (and the accent doesn't hurt).

I love her Adult series featuring Ciara (I'm currently reading the second book) and I can't wait for her YA series! And there's a triangle--I really like love triangles!
