Dead Girl Dancing sounds like me right now

Linda Joy Singleton has written another in the Dead Girl Series. Dead Girl Dancing features Amber, a Temp Lifer. Amber's grandmother recruits her to be a Temp Lifer - one who takes over another's body when that person needs a break from his or her own life. Usually Temp Lifers have been dead for a while. Only rarely is a live person used. Amber is still alive, or at least she is in a coma after having been hit by a truck. Amber "wakes" to find herself in Sharayah's body. Sharayah is the 21-year-old sister of Amber's boyfriend Eli. Sharayah has serious problems: the love of her life tried to kill her, she is going from man to man, she parties constantly, her grades are dropping, and she has a stalker. Amber must maintain Rayah's life while in her body and still stay away from the Dark Lifer who wants to take Amber's life force.
So how does this apply to me? Every once in a while I would like to have a temp lifer. I could use a short break away. Luckily Thanksgiving break is just a few days away.

  4. This book sounds right up my alley! Thanks for posting the review about it. I'm always ready for a new series to start. Of course, I'm in the middle or at the end of 2 or 3 all the time. Too many books, so little time!!!

  7. WOW! This book sounds amazing! I definitely need a life temp right now. Sometimes I feel like I am spinning around and around, with no end in sight. Even though Thanksgiving is around the corner....I still have to work. :(

  8. How interesting! When I was in middle school there were no books like this! It reminds me a bit of Drop Dead Diva - a tv show. Have you seen it?
