Life hasn't been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Connor, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she's irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.
But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can't stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma's been having the oddest dreams: visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Harlequin Teen for providing me a galley of this beautiful book.
I didn’t know what to expect when I started the book but the writing completely mesmerized me. The protagonist’s voice was snarky and funny and so reminiscent of Meg Cabot books.
Unlike the usually brigade of YA paranormal protagonist’s Emma was brave and down-to-earth. She was so sarcastic and loyal and I found her endearing. I really loved and cared about her and honestly that probably made me enjoy the book so much more! Protagonist’s sometimes have a far superior part in the book then the plot itself.
Not that the plot was a problem!
The plot was fresh and unique and the past legends completely captivated me! The high school drama and the NYC setting were added perks. Like a delicious cake with cherry on top! There were also pop culture references made and many a witty jokes cracked in this book.
Brendan Salinger had me drooling and his attitude was just irresistible! My parents kept shooting me these rather suspicious looks as I could not keep the grin off my face while reading all the Emma-Brendan romance scenes. It was just so relatable and I don’t know why but the book just made me happy!
I really don’t want to give any anymore of the plot because I know how much fun it will be discovering it on your own as you keep the pages turning.
Fans of star-crossed lovers and YA paranormal will devour this book.
A fantastic and enthralling read!
Go buy this book now because trust me, doomed love was never this FUN!
