"There's no easy way to tell new arrivals to Everlost that, technically, they are no longer alive."

If you like ghost stories and chocolate, you will love this book.

First, I'll say that I love the cover. It's simple, different and I just adore it.

Now, Everlost had me hooked from the first chapter. It was an amazing attention getter. Two children die in a car accident. Yes. And the story was just so intriguing and crazy. The whole premise of this book is about children dying, and the world they get lost in; the world between Earth and heaven/hell, Everlost.

So, Nick and Allie are stuck in Everlost and just want to find a way home. The book follows their trials and errors in trying to do so.

It was pretty easy reading, but the plot was intricate. I just felt like it was slow in places and I think some more action would have helped a lot.

This wasn't as thought-provoking and gripping as Unwind but it does challenge a little.
