Synopsis:

Tod Hudson was a typical teenager. He liked girls, sports, food and tolerated his younger brother, Nash. In fact, he had his whole life in front of him--and due to his bean sidhe heritage, it was going to be a very long life indeed. And then the car accident occurred.

Suddenly Tod's future wasn't so sure, and he had to make a choice. Life... Death... or something Between....

An ebook exclusive Soul Screamers series novella.

My rating: ★★★★★
All I have to say is that I have totally fallen in love with Tod! I absolutely loved this book...it was amazing!

This novella tells what happened the night Tod died and became a reaper. We see how much Tod cares for both his mom and Nash.

[Which is why he traded his life for Nash's. What?! Thats right, Nash was the one who died that night, but Tod traded his life for Nash's so he could continue living. How sweet is that? Nash doesn't know that though.]

And so, Tod now lingers between the living and the dead as a reaper. Tod would've been 18 a few days later if he hadnt died. On the day of his birthday, his mom baked him a cake. Tod saw this cake the day he was supposed to choose to be a reaper or not. I thought it was very sad...I even teared up :'(

So the story is told in Tod's point of view and it takes place before My Soul to Take. However, towards the end it overlaps with My Soul to Lose...

[*gasp* What do I mean? Well it turns out that Tod saw Kaylee in the hospital when she was having her...er, episode. Makes you wonder, doesnt it?]

Well, all I have to say now is that I am super anxious to continue reading the series :)

[Will Kaylee ever remember that she's seen Tod before Nash intriduced them? Will Nash ever find out what Tod did for him the night he was supposed to die?]

So there's only one thing left to do... stay tuned, lol.
