Jack Kelly wakes up from a coma believing he is a married man with a wife and kids. However, when Jack wakes up he is a thirteen year old child with vivid memories through adulthood and the accident that he believed that his brother suffered is now his own. Along with the brain injury, Jack can now read people's minds, feel their emotions and see the ghosts and demons that linger in the city and pull people into the next world. With an introduction to others like him, Jack begins to refine his gift and hones into one particular ghost in the apartment building across from his school. The ghost and Jack have a connection, but the ghost does not want to leave. A supernatural fight ensues as Jack tries to convince the ghost to move on.
From the beginning, Jack's story pulled me into this intriguing supernatural thriller. From the start, the demons and ghosts in the shadows were gripping, creating an intense and foreboding atmosphere. I was very interested in Jack's family as an adult and how that experience shaped how he came back as a child. Jack's reintroduction to life and his childhood after his coma were fascinating. Jack's character held the duality of being in a child's body with the memories and emotional control of an adult. The writing switched between the points of view of Jack and the ghost, Kasper Greenstreet. I was equally attracted to Kasper's storyline as Jack's. Being able to read about Kasper's life and death created him as a full person. I loved reading about his artistic process and the passion he put into his work. As Jack's interactions with Kasper increase, so does the suspense, culminating in an exciting ending. With many questions still unanswered, I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series.
