Token of Darkness by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

5.0

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes writing sure has come a far way in the past 11 years. She weaves another fantastic tale. It's not exactly a Den of Shadows book, since there are not vampires in this one. Like most of her books it has a pleasant twist towards the end, that is more creative than cliche.

But the story follows Cooper. After surviving a horrible car accident, he woke up in the hospital able to see Samantha, a ghost. After meeting Samantha and trying to find out more about her (she's an amnesiac ghost, which cool in itself) to no avail, Cooper tries to find another way to help her which leads him to meet Brent a telepath. Of course Brent in turn helps Cooper. Then, there's Delilah a sorceress/head cheerleader.

I won't go any farther into the story since I don't want to give it away. But the three teens do work together to try and help Samantha.

Like a lot of her characters they seem real, not two dimensional whatsoever. New fans or old would enjoy this read, and I bet you could finish it in one sitting. I enjoyed this one and hope that Amelia revisit these characters on in later books.
