Lily Carlyle dies and is given a second chance to redeem herself. She doesn't see where she has any other choice so she accepts. The problem is she doesn't come back as Lily any more. She takes over the body of Alice Perdue. Now she has to figure out why and what is expected of her. She may get the shock of her life!

All Lily wanted to do was take care of her younger sister, Rose after she is brutally raped and beaten. So she goes after the man who did it. What she doesn't plan on is having that same man kill her as well. She just knew she had killed him first so what happened?

Lily wasn't a good girl in her former life so why is she given a second chance? Now Lily has to figure things out but as Alice. Can she do it? She does have a helper, a guardian angel so to speak. His name is Clarence and he looks like a frog. What is up with that? He tells her she is strong but she has to train in order to do what she is chosen to do which is fight demons and close the gate between worlds. Clarence also tells Lily she can't have anything to do with her former life or with her sister. Lily balks at this big time until Clarence tells her that Rose is in danger if she does try to contact her.

This first book in the Blood Lily Chronicles not only captured my attention but held it throughout the entire book. There were twists and turns around every aspect of this story that I couldn't even begin to imagine. I simply cannot wait until the next book to see what is in store for Lily/Alice.
