"Vampires going to high school, but make it queer. Sterling delivers a fresh, thoughtful take on beloved paranormal tropes with a delightfully bloody romance." --Mara Fitzgerald, author of Beyond the Ruby Veil   From the author of These Witches Don't Burn comes another paranormal romance for fans of Richelle Mead and Stephenie Meyer. Elise Beaumont is cursed. With every touch, she experiences exactly how her loved ones will die. And after her brother's death--a death she predicted but was unable to prevent--Elise is desperate to get rid of her terrible gift, no matter the cost.   Claire Montgomery also has a unique relationship with death, mostly because she's already dead. Technically, anyway. Claire is a vampire, and she's been assigned by the Veil to help Elise master her rare Death Oracle powers. At first, Elise is reluctant to work with a vampire, but when she predicts a teacher's imminent murder, she's determined to stop the violent death, even if it means sacrificing her own future to secure Claire's help. The trouble is, Claire and Elise aren't the only paranormals in town--a killer is stalking the streets, and Claire can't seem to shake the pull she feels toward Elise, a romance that could upend the Veil's mission. But as Elise and Claire grow closer, Elise begins to wonder--can she really trust someone tasked with securing her loyalty? Someone who could so easily kill her? Someone who might hold the key to unraveling her brother's mysterious death?  … (mais)

2.5 rounded up. Horrible ending if there’s no sequel. So many loose ends. Other than that, I enjoyed the story minus Ellie. ( )

I'm definitely interested in seeing more of this world. I'd be interested in seeing how the other paranormals truly feel about being governed by two vampires. I'd also be interested in seeing if Claire ever truly becomes human.

I enjoyed the story, but how Elise mastered her powers felt a little deus ex machine to me. The reveal of Rose's true identity was well foreshadowed from the very beginning.

I really love Sterling's writing style and how she writes relationships that feel so real. I'll be a long time reader for sure! ( )

Gender uncertainty is a pretty big thing to deal with when you're a teen, but when you suddenly start seeing how someone will die the moment you touch them, what the heck do you do? How can you go to school and be around your mother when you dearly need the comfort of human contact, but are terrified at the visions doing so flash through your mind.
This is what High school student Elise is facing when this book begins. She's shocked when a new student, Claire, doesn't elicit such a response. That's because she's not exactly alive, she's a vampire, turned and betrayed by someone she loved and trusted. Claire would do anything to gain revenge and become human again. She has that carrot dangled before her by a secret cabal of paranormals called the Veil, but in order to get her wish, she must convince Elise to go along with a role she never heard of, that of death oracle. Read the book to find out all the hoops and twists they must navigate in order to find happiness, humanity, and enough blood to keep Claire well-behaved while getting there. A most satisfying tale.

With every touch, Elise experiences how her loved ones will die. Claire is already dead….or undead, since she is a vampire. Can the two learn to trust each other when a killer is on the loose?
