Wow. Just wow.

This book was incredible. I don't know what anybody meant by it being "too slow." For me, it was really hard to put down.

I loved the majority of the characters. Silla drew me in immediately, I found Gram Judy hilarious, and I wished Reese were my big brother.

When he died, I almost cried :'(

I liked Josephine at first, and her slow descent into power-hungry insanity was interesting to follow. The only character that I didn't like quite as much was Nick. He seemed nice, for sure, but the way he went from total obnoxious bad-boy in the beginning to sweet and fearless in only a couple of weeks/days(?) seemed unrealistic. (Not that I always mind things being unrealistic. I'm totally down with instalove :P) Also, it drove me crazy when Nick called Silla "babe." If you respect her, you should use her actual NAME.

Multiple narrators in books tends to irritate me, but I thought it fit this story very well. Especially the use of Josephine's diary entries to let the reader in on why she turned out the way she did. I looked forward to each of the main characters' perspectives on things, and couldn't wait to read each of Josephine's diary entries.

The plot was wonderful. Immortality is tempting, but it comes with a price, for sure. All the possession creeped me out, and made me totally paranoid along with Silla, Nick, and Reese. It was impossible to know when the villain would take someone else's body. Speaking of the villain, the mystery shrouding his/her identity was FANTASTIC. I never would have correctly guessed that

Ms. Tripp was Josephine, but it totally makes sense now.

The scene at the end, filled with destruction, was super-satisfying.

The actual ending of the book, the last chapter, was so-so. I thought it wasn't over yet, so I turned the page and there were the acknowledgements. I hate it when that happens :/

Great book overall. :D
