She cheated death once. To bring her family back to life, she'll have to do it again.   "The Girl Who Cheated Death by Alan Baker is a chilling thriller that haunted my dreams long after I had finished reading it." Official Review, Onlinebookclub.org "The author's plot twist is agreeably surprising and propels the supernatural story into the world of mystery" -Kirkus Reviews  "Gripping and absorbing from the title to the last word." Amazon.com, Customer Review.  A horrific accident introduces a frightening supernatural presence into a young woman's life, altering both her past and future. Alexandra Drummond's life is forever changed by a car wreck that kills her parents and sister. Ironically, recovering from her emotional and physical scars is not her biggest challenge. She is also haunted by Azrael, the angel of death.  On the morning of the accident, Alex watches as Azrael takes the souls of her family. And the visions keep coming. A man with oily black hair in a pinstripe suit appears to Alex in the hospital, outside her high school, and in the woods near her campsite.  She worries that she's crazy, though Azrael appears to be just as threatened by her ability to see him. She confides in her doctor and friends and, while they appear to believe her, they are unable to help Alex banish death.  Midway through the book, the narrative takes an unexpected twist and Alex's recovery is overshadowed by the realization that she could bring her family back to life. But Azrael is determined to stop Alex's meddling and she must enlist the help of her remaining family and friends if there is any hope for success. "This book is steeped in so much mystery and intrigue that it made it hard to put down. I kept trying to guess at what was going to happen, and then being totally bamboozled by the events that unfolded. Baker definitely knows how to throw unprecedented twists into the mix. I love that I was kept on my toes throughout." Official Review, Onlinebookclub.org "I read this book quickly, with plenty of mystery to keep me intrigued along the way. Given the extraordinary events that occur in Alex's life after the accident, it is difficult to work out what really happened to her and her family. Having the narrative told from Alex's point of view adds nicely to the confusion. The concept of reality in this book is somewhat fluid, which is great if you enjoy puzzling out a mystery, never really knowing where you stand until the end. I found myself guessing multiple potential twists which didn't end up happening." Official Review, Onlinebookclub.org --The Girl Who Cheated Death placed as a Semi-Finalist in the 2018 Faulkner Wisdom Competition --The Girl Who Cheated Death was awarded a perfect 4 out of 4 stars from Onlinebookclub.org… (mais)

The Girl Who Cheated Death by Alan Baker is a thriller which is very intriguing. The story is about a happy teenager, Alexandra who suddenly loses her family in an accident while she the lone survivor.
Alex starts questioning her own sanity when she sees a strange figure who goes around capturing souls from dying people. Nobody believes her story but finally she finds her friend Carl and Dr. Khan on her side. The frequent encounters from the Angel of Death Azrael scare her to death. Alex travels back in time when she accidentally changes an event in future. Eventually, she figures the reason behind the visits of Azrael.
Alex decides to bring her family back by changing an event in future. The story is a little complicated. The theory of Newcomb's paradox is applied in the story.
I enjoyed the story. I received the book's free copy in return for a review from #NetGalley. Thanks to #BooksGoSocial for sharing this book with me. The story, the female lead, the paranormal side and the suspense are a huge plus to this story. ( )
