Meridian

Meridian has just turned sixteen and since she can remember she has been surrounded (literally) by death/dying since she was born. On the day of her sixteenth birthday a car crashes in front of her house and her entire body explodes in pain, her parents then proceed to rush her into the car and sends her off to her Aunt Meridian's house in Revelation, Colorado. She learns there, after nearly dying in a snow storm, that she is what is called a Fenestra. The half-angel, half-human link between the living and the dead. Her Aunt Meridian is trying to teach her everything she knows before she passes on, something that seems to be coming closer with each passing day. With the help of her Aunt Meridian, and her sworn protector Tens, Meridian tries to learn all she can and save as many people's souls as possible while battling the Aternoci, the band of dark forces that want to capture the souls and cause more chaos then is already there. This book is one that I really enjoyed reading and definitely hope that there will be a sequel too. This is a book that not all would truly enjoy because it is a bit darker then most books because of the Aternoci, but for those who can get past it will probably really enjoy this book. So overall grade...B
