Summary

After meeting an angel fallen to earth to regain his wings, sixteen-year-old Casey finds herself in Limbo, a place between the living and the dead, where angels and demons battle for souls and where Casey tries to save her best friend Liddy, the victim of a tragic accident.

Pronounced dead on the beach during the year-end harbor party, Casey's sudden return to the living is shadowed by the drowning of her best friend, Liddy. She returns home for the summer, only to find that Liddy won't let her go. A series of violent nightmares and soulless whispers threaten to drive Casey mad, but when she watches a boy fall from the sky, she suspects she's actually crossed that line. When Red-- an angel fallen to earth to regain his wings-- takes her to Limbo, Casey must learn to walk between life and death in order to risk saving Liddy. -- adapted from jacket
