No longer able to bear the guilt of what she's done, Sera escapes from Cyrus and vows to never kill again. But then sixteen-year old Kailey Morgan gets inbto a horrific car accident right of front of Seraphina and Sera accidentally takes over the body while trying to save Kailey. For the first time Sera finds herself enjoying the life of the person she's inhabiting, and falling for the human boy next door. But Cyrus wants Sera back again. Will Sera have to give up the true love that's eluded her for centuries?

I really enjoyed this book but most of the way through I felt like I was missing a part of the story. Some of the characters could be more fleshed out and perhaps. At times it felt like she was rushing through any real development. I rated this 3 stars more for the concept because I really enjoyed that aspect of the book.
