Almost Alive

by Christina L. Barr

"I never thought life could get more complicated after death. I guess I was terribly mistaken." Michelle Dorin seems to be your average seventeen-year-old rich girl with dysfunctional parents-except for the fact that she's been dead before. Months after her revival, she discovers that a demon is living inside of her and plans on devouring her soul until her body is free reign for its evil purposes. Her only confidant is Julian, an edgy classmate that has the same condition, but seems to have power over his demon and hers. He offers to teach Michelle how to handle living with the demon if she agrees to train and eventually help hunt them. But it's not easy to steer clear of temptation when you're not sure if the voice inside your head is your own or something else. Can the unlikely duo save our world from demons that disguise themselves as ordinary humans, or will their strange and growing attraction toward each other drag them both to hell?

I loved this book from beginning to end. The intriguing story line had me putting myself in Michelle's shoes. I truly can't wait for the sequel.

ARC. I loved the book. The plot was great and the way everything played out made it a great read. I'm looking forward for the next story. The characters were very developed and I could feel the main characters struggles with her parents and with the way things were going. It was an easy read and I felt like I couldn't put it down to find out exactly what happened next with each character and their demons.

To start off I absolutely loved this book! It was so good from beginning to the end! With twists and turns everywhere! And who could forget the forbidden crush. I recommend this book to everyone who loves anything paranormal or mysterious, this book was amazing. Christina does it once again with a book that I couldn't put down until I finished it. I am really looking forward to reading the sequel!

This actually seems like a really good book with a lot of potential, and I haven't really read a book with demons in it before, so I really hope that I enjoy this once I get my hands on it :3

This book was ok. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. I liked Julian. I would recommend this to paranormal readers.
