Meridian Sozu has lived with death for her entire life. Dead and dying animals find their way into her room at night and follow her at school. She has always accepted that she is strange, a freak, but after witnessing a bad car accident on her sixteenth birthday, Meridian's world is about to change. Suddenly she it sent to live with her aunt in Revelation, Colorado and told that she is in danger. Her aunt tells her that she is a Fenestra, a half angel, half human link between the living and the dead. Now she must learn to open the "window" between this world and the afterlife, through which the souls of the dead pass. And Meridian must learn quickly: the Acternocti, the enemies of the Fenestra, are hunting her. The Acternocti are also links between the living and the dead, but with a difference: they are evil. They carry souls to hell, rather than heaven. Meridian also has do deal with the charismatic new preacher in Revelation, who is taking over the town and is likely an Acternocti. And if she has time--and can accept herself and her sworn protector, Tens, for who they are--maybe even fall in love. Dark, thrilling, romantic, and beautifully dramatic, Meridan is a simply delicious book. I don't know if there is a sequel, but I hope so. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. As always, LOVED IT! I adore Meridian, both the book and the character. Purrrrr.
