Nothing sucks more than being forced to move cross country during senior year. And Dominique Wells doesn't think things can get any worse until she's invited to a quirky neighbor's party. When pressured into playing a magical card game, Dominique's world goes from sucky to terrifying. She begins having visions of a red desert and an evil presence--a presence who hints at past lives and promises to kill her.
Plagued by fear and suspicion, and unaware of a family secret kept hidden from her, Dominique is determined to live. Together with a mysterious and gorgeous guy who's moved in while his parents are away, and a hot, popular guy from school, Dominique must seek clues to her past if she's to survive. That, and keep her emotions in check for the two guys she suddenly can't stop thinking about because if she doesn't, she'll be dead. For real.
Dominque, as a character, was one that I definitely liked. I could understand her hesitance to accept what was going on at first. I also thought the secondary characters were developed well. The one that I grew to like the most were Trent, Jan and Farrell.
Final Life, as a book, doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but it is the first book in a series. Having read it, I'm interested in reading the second to see how the story progresses.
I recommend this book to anyone who like paranormal or urban fantasy books. I give it a rating of 4/5 platypires.
