Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready
5.0
I love this series, with its ghost seeing postshifters and non-ghost seeing preshifters. Author Jeri Smith-Ready has really taken an innovative idea and ran with it and has written, so far, two really good books that I cannot seem to get enough of. Aura was the first born to the postshifters and in that case she is the one that caused for everyone to see ghosts. Zach is the last of the preshifters so he cannot see ghosts. In fact, ghosts flee from the sight of him. Aura is confused for her feelings for Zach. She wants to be with him but she cannot help but miss her recently deceased and now shade boyfriend Logan. But when Logan comes back to her he turns form shade into a ghost then into a human. Aura is overcome with emotion and finds herself almost doing the deed with Logan while he is human for those 15 minutes.
But when Logan turns back into a ghost they both are confused about why that is. Overcome with sadness and guilt she tells Zach how she almost lost her virginity to Logan...again. Zach becomes angry and the two of them decide to part ways, which leads to Zach asking Becca (Aura's enemy) to the prom over her. Aura is upset but decides to go with Logan's younger brother Dylan. Things heat up between the pairs at prom and Aura finds comfort over losing Zach to Becca in Dylan's arms.
It is a bit twisted that she is making out with her dead boyfriends little brother and even contemplating about having sex with him but then again, she is grieving. She has lost her boyfriend and her sort of new boyfriend just within a few months of each other. But she needs Zach to finish her school project and to help figure out the secret behind the shift. A lot of things unfold within this book and it is up to Aura and to use Zach to help her find herself again, find the secrets of her and her mothers past, help Logan pass on, and to figure out what caused the shift all together.
I liked this book it made me sad at times and happy at others. Smith-Ready is a good writer, and her work flows without any hiccups. I enjoy reading Aura's story but it is hard for me to choose which male lead I like better for her. I love Logan, because even though he is dead he still exudes confidence and still loves Aura. Zach on the other hand, may love Aura but he still seems to put other things before her, but is it because he loves her that he is willing to let her go? These are the same words Zach uses while challenging Logan. But Logan is kind-hearted he is just a bit into himself, but Aura knows that. I would like to know what would happen if Logan became human again, would she and Zach me history or would they still be together? The book ends with Logan possibly passing on in the cemetery in front of his grave, while Aura watches, but we do not actually get to know if he really did pass on or if he is still stuck in his limbo. Zach is getting on a plane with his family and heading back to the UK. But he made plans for him and Aura to meet in the same place where his father and mother met for the Solstice, where everything changed. Together will they be able to stop the shift?
