Kaylee is just starting to get her life back to normal - again - when she walks in on her dad and Tod talking. Tod has seen the death list for that week, and Kaylee's on it! Determined not to let her last six days be for nothing, she decides to fix one more wrong at her high school.

The new math teacher, Mr. Beck, is an incubus and is set on having a son - by mating with a student! When Mr. Beck sets his sights on Emma, Kaylee knows that this will be her last good deed before she dies. With the help of Sabine, her frenemy, she sets out to get rid of Mr. Beck. But on the way, something in her love life surprises her!

Ooh....this book was a roller coaster of emotions! Sad and depressing one minute, then happy and giddy the next. I couldnt put the book down. I wanted to know if Kaylee was really going to die, and if so, how! The ups and downs with Nash continued, and there was one moment where I really didnt like Nash again.

I had thought about Kaylee and Tod together before but I wasnt really sure how I felt about them as couple. But after seeing how Tod felt about Kaylee and her reaction to him, Im glad that they came together. I didnt particularly like HOW they had their first kiss, since I am extremely against cheating, but I loved how Tod always protected Kaylee and put her first. And the ending. Wow! I kept saying No, Kaylee cant die! It cant be over! But I should have known that death is never really the end. I liked the ending. It fit well and was sort of a happily-ever-after (with the whole Tod thing, minus the whole Nash thing).
