Existence (Existence Trilogy #1) by Abbi Glines - GBR - Starting February 15th 2016

[Sarah Elizabeth]

What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.

Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.

Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.

Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with is not a soul at all.

He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.

Anybody got any thoughts on this one before we start?

I'm thinking that this has sort of a Final Destination concept, with the whole cheating Death idea—which I love in any book or film!

Has anyone read anything similar to this before?

I don't think I have, but I have to say it sounds really interesting!

Anybody read anything else by this author previously?

No, I have not, but I've heard heaps of positive things!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

This author seems to be really popular ☺

Yeah she does! Apparently she does more NA than YA, however, but I'm interested in both. Seems like a fun, quick read! :)

I'm looking forward to this! I haven't read Abbi Glines before, but I just bought one of her books recently and I'm planning on reading it soon. Like Max, the concept reminds me of Final Destination! Hopefully I'll be able to read this with you guys!

chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ it's quite funny how he started talking about sex just to make her uncomfortable. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ hmm, so he admits that he likes her and kisses her, but something doesn't feel right? So is she not going to end up with Leif? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ there's a pop star at the school now? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ the rock star is the ghost who's been stalking her? how odd! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ right, so it's this Dank guy that she really likes. why does everyone in this book have such odd names? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[She was so uncomfortable! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ wow, these two are good together! it's a shame they can't be together! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Dank is a bit of a weird name. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ right, so my guess is that she was supposed to die in the wreck, and he stopped her from dying, and now he's in trouble for it, and that is why this woman is following her because she's supposed to be dead. (hide spoiler)]

[Max]

Starting tomorrow

I may be a few days late starting this one. :-( But I'll catch up asap. :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

the end (view spoiler)[ Leif isn't human?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ I find it hilarious that he is making her uncomfortable by talking about sex and cuteness. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ Is she going to end up with Leif or is she going for her stalker guy who saved her life and broke a lot of rules for her? Seems like a difficult decision. Wouldn't want to be her right now. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ The stalker guy who saved her life and broke a lot of rules for her is the rock star new to her school. This is going to get interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

I agree with you.

[Sharon]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ I dislike the fact that Dank and Pagan can't be together because they look like a really good couple. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sharon wrote: "Chapter 9: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ it does seem unfair! They make a cute couple! (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

I agree with you.

[Sharon]

Chapter 11: (view spoiler)[ That creepy lady is stalking her because she was supposed to die in the car wreck, but Dank saved her by not letting her die. Hence, he broke all the rules for her. I am liking Dank more and more. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[ It is like he never existed in her school or in her life. I am wondering if Dank wanted to protect her from that creepy lady. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I need to know more. I find it interesting that Leif is not human. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Sarah wrote: "Sharon wrote: "Chapter 13: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I know. It is like he wiped everyone's memory of him being there except for hers. (hide spoiler)]
