First love can be brutal. Sometimes it can be Fatal. Grayson Patch hasn't been human since he was seventeen years old...and that was nineteen years ago. When he rose from the dead, he had no memory of his former life. Grayson desperately wants to recapture his lost humanity, and he's been told that there is one person in this world who can save him from his current fate before he begins to decompose. One person whose life must be sacrificed for his. Cori Abbott has a million things to worry about. She's the new girl in a school that's a fraction of the size of her old one. Her antisocial tendencies are crippling her ability to make new friends. And then there's the recent, sudden death of her father, the only man who ever understood her. The last thing Cori wants is the attention of a strange, withdrawn, and consistently angry guy who seems to hate her for no apparent reason. A guy she can't stop thinking about. Will Cori break through Grayson's cold exterior and find the human within, the boy who can love and understand her like no other? Will Grayson sacrifice Cori to rid himself of his undead curse, even if it means losing her forever?
