I love how the overall theme of these books is sort of how do you define what is really good, and what is really evil. Jenny has a "power" that truly seems to be about as evil as you can get, and yet she isn't evil (though she does make some bad choices!!). Ashleigh the super villian is power corrupt with her "gift" that should be something really good.(Sorry team Ashleigh fans, you will be disappointed!)(Go Jenny! Alexander Death seems to really focus on the past. How does your past define you? How will you let it define you? In the end Jenny has to decide whether or not she will let her past lives determine who she is today, and whether or not the present life is going to be lived based on who she was, or who she really wants to be. J.L. Bryan is truly a talented author in how he has created these underlying themes within all of his well developed characters! Since we know they all reincarnate there is always hope there will be more right?..?RIGHT? Oh and I would like to say a big thank you to J.L. Bryan for not letting Ashleigh be born again in a certain character's "life"(something to do with Heaven..hint hint) like I was fearing..you know like some Vincent Price laughing moment at the very end of the book. *Whew*..
Technically speaking, like the other books in the Paranormals series, this book was well written. The writing was clean, easy-to-follow, engaging, and didn’t suffer from a lot of errors (as seems to be the norm with e-books these days). The story was jam-packed with tension, conflict, mystery, and romance—and there were more than a few times when I waffled on which side of the fence my loyalties lie. There was a lot of jumping around between characters, as with the other books, but I found it a little more engaging this time around. A lot more time was spent with Jenny (who is by far my favorite character), and it was nice to spend a lot less time with Ashleigh (the one character I truly can’t stand). If you’ve read the previous books in this series (and you should) you’ll find this installment a lot easier to follow than the second one, and it has some truly fantastic moments with Jenny and Alexander.
Now, from the parental view of things: There was a lot more adult content in this book that the previous two. There’s always been a few hints of drugs/sex in the books, but there was an egregious amount of bad decision making concerning cocaine and hallucinogenic mushrooms in this book (with few consequences to balance it out), and quite a few sexual moments. The sexy bits weren’t nearly as bad as most romance novels, but if you’re looking into buying this series for your Teen, you should be aware of the content first.
Last, but not least: the world building was really intriguing in this installment. It was nice to get more background on the paranormal (especially the plague-bringer) and get a peek into who these beings are and where they came from. If you’ve been waiting to learn more about where these teen’s powers came from, you’re going to get a big dose of knowledge in this book that I think was fascinating.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book. I still hold the first book in the series as my favorite, but this one was certainly better than the second, and it had a great ending. If you enjoy gritty paranormal fantasy romance geared towards the new adult crowd, you may really enjoy this series. Give it a look.

Funny really that Alexander doesn't like Ashleigh because she's manipulative cause he's certainly a master in manipulation himself!
Alexander is an interesting charachter to read about and getting a glimpse of Jenny like she was in past lives with the influence of Alexander was terrifying.
I can't wait to see what the next (and sadly last) book of the series takes us!
I have to admit my favourite aspect of this book (apart from the actual storyline of course) is the relationships. Unlike other paranormal YA book sthere is no insta-love. Hallelujah! Even with the *SPOILERS* reincarnation aspect *END OF SPOILRES* adding a depth and history to the love between characters the relationships themselves require effort and work, much like real relationships. It is so srare that I find a book with so little faults or that I have enjoyed so whole heartedly, let alone an entire series.
If paranormal books aren't your thing, I would still reccommend this series for the aforementioned relationship aspect. It's so rare to find a book, especially aimed at a younger audience, which depicts healthy relationships (and of course the opposite in comparison) especially one with such an awesome storyline.
I repeat: I can't reccommend this series enough!! I wish I could give it more stars.
Well what a great read I really enjoyed this book and my fears were put to rest. I am just about to download the last of the books and hope it lives up to the last 3...
WATCH THIS. SPACE.................................
Nach den Ereignissen im letzten Band teilten sich die Protagonisten in verschiedene Gruppen auf.
Jenny ist mit Alexander irgendwo in Mexiko und kommt endlich den Geheimnissen um ihre früheren Leben näher. Je mehr sie über ihre tausende male reinkarnierte Seele erfährt, umso verändert sie sich. Alexander scheint gefallen an dieser Transformation zu finden und man kann sich als Leser des Gefühls nicht erwehren, dass er nicht nur gute Absichten verfolgt. Nach einer Weile fragt man sich aber ob Jenny das überhaupt noch stören würde...?
Einige der Szenen zwischen Alexander und Jenny sind glühend heiß und überschreiten definitiv alles, was ich bis jetzt im Bereich der YA Literatur gelesen habe. Nicht, dass junge Erwachsene damit nicht umgehen könnten, aber wer prüderes gewohnt ist sollte sich hier lieber anschnallen.
Seth ist inzwischen seit einiger Zeit an der Uni, hat aber immer noch nicht aufgehört nach Jenny zu suchen. In seiner Verzweiflung beauftragt er eine Spezialfirma die nach Kidapping-Opfern sucht. Er kann sich einfach nicht vorstellen, dass Jenny solange weggbleiben würde ohne sich bei ihrem Vater zu melden.
Aus dem passiven und relativ langweiligen Seth wird hier ein Getriebener mit einer Mission. Er will Jenny um jeden Preis finden und lässt sich von nichts und niemanden aufhalten. Diese Weiterentwicklung hat mir sehr gefallen.
Tommy und Esmeralda/Ashleigh verfolgen weiterhin Ashleigh's Pläne. Sogar dem etwas unterbelichteten Tommy wird allerdings langsam klar, dass Ashleigh Menschen nur benutzt und auch ganz schnell ihre Meinung ändert wenn sie nicht mehr nützlich sind.
Alles läuft auf eine großartige Konfrontation am Ende des Buches hinaus in der sich die Schicksale unserer Helden entscheiden. Werden die alten Loyalitäten halten oder werden Jenny und Seth am Ende doch füreinader entscheiden und weiterhin daran arbeiten menschlicher zu werden?
Der Autor beschäftigt sich hier mit wirklich interessanten Fragen zu Macht und Menschlichkeit, unglaublich wenn man bedenkt dass diese Trilogie mit einem Mädchen begann, dass niemanden anfassen durfte.
Inzwischen ist ein vierter Band erschienen, das ist wohl dem großen Erfolg geschuldet. Ich persönlich fand diesen Abschluss zur Geschichte sehr rund und kann mir nicht wirklich vorstellen was als nächstes kommen soll. Ich bin aber neugierig, und dass ist sicher ein gutes Zeichen.
