Nico runs from it. He didn't just lose his brother... he lost his best friend too. The rapid beating in his heart, the blood pounding in his system, his feet slapping the pavement helps him get away from reality. From the hurt. But he always has to come back and face his broken mom and dad. He always has to pass Lucca's room when he goes to his own. The absence of Lucca gnaws at him. Eats him up and spits him out, and does it all over again.
But then something changes. Brooklyn's nightmares get worse and worse. Nico's recieving strange messages from
Lucca telling him to help Brooklyn. They're both haunted. They both need the other but they don't know if they should let eachother in. So what do you do if anger and fear and lost love takes over? What do you do when trust is on the bottom of their lists? Brooklyn and Nico don't know that in order for the hauntings to disappear, they need to lean on eachother. Only they don't really want the hauntings to disappear, because without them Lucca isn't there with them. The hauntings are the only thing that bring Lucca back.
This book expresses love in a way that I didn't think possible. How different kinds of love have many consequences, but also how love can be the cure. Lisa Schroeder delivers a story of pure passion.
