Like all people born after the Shift, Aura can see and hear ghosts. They're more annoying than anything and she does everything she can, from visiting places that use BlackBoxes to wearing red, to keep them at bay. On her boyfriend Logan's birthday, his band has agents from a record company coming out to see them play. At the afterparty celebrating his birthday and the offer from the company, things get out of control and Logan dies. Aura is devastated until she realizes that Logan has not passed on. She spends time with him when she can, but is forced to spend a lot of time with the gorgeous Scottish exchange student, Zachary, working on a research project. It turns out that Zachary was the last person born before the Shift, Aura was the first person born after the Shift, and there are a LOT of agencies very interested in the two of them.
This was a fantastic story. The growing relationship between Aura and Zachary as well as her resulting guilt over Logan are very believable (and at times heart-wrenching.) There are many storylines left open, though, so I'm REALLY excited for the sequel, Shift, coming out in May 2011!
