Kit is the star player and new captain of his high school football team. He has a popular girlfriend. He been nominated for homecoming king. His grades and life are all set to get him in to the college his family expects him to attend.

Kit was not always the golden boy. For a long time he struggled and was shut off from every one. This all started the day his best friend Emma moved away, without notice, without saying goodbye.

One day, Emma returns. This is when it all changes.

Emma recently lost her mother to cancer. As it was always just Emma and her mom growing up, she moved back to her home town to live with her grandmother. Being back home didnt mean everything went back to normal. She is mostly stuck inside, as her grandmother is very strict, but for a good reason.

Emma runs into Kit one night when she sneaks out. Not only does this flood Kit with memories and emotions, something else starts to change. He starts to see death before it happens. Kit has no idea that the return of his childhood friend and his visions are connected.

This is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel. Even where there is darkness and death looming you have beautiful artwork. The way the artist uses the color palettes to convey the mood and emotion is brilliant.

This is a well paced stand alone that keeps you interested and has an ending that leaves you wanting more of their story but also satisfied. The characters and plot grow together, and in a sequence that flows very well.

This book is perfect for middle grade readers and adults alike. Would be a perfect edition to any home or school library!
