Addison is waking up from an operation when she realises she can hear a voice in her head.
<< She was alone. Completely alone.
"Hello?" she whispered.
"Jesus. It's about damn time you acknowledge me. I mean, what the ****? Are you deaf or what?"
"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." She held her head, certain she was hearing the voice in her own mind now.
No freaking way!
"Ah, yeah... I don't think God had anything to do with this, but what do I know." She could practically hear the mental shrug. >>

And then she remembers the weird dream she had, the one where she was floating somewhere in the darkness and another person was there... a guy...

<< His voice still carried the smugness of `I told you so' since she'd received confirmation of her death and resuscitation. And then he'd rubbed her face in it as she came around to one indisputable realization: she had some guy's soul stuck inside her. >>

She does the only thing she can. Tries to cope with having a strange guy take up residence in her head. She nicknames him the Afterlife Leech and tries, with some success, to block his thoughts and emotions. That is, until he nags her into Googling him.

<< "Who the hell are you, Rhys?"
"Got a lot of hits, did you?" The pride in his voice was clear. "I'm a bit famous."
"Don't bother with the feigned humility. It doesn't suit you," Addison stated dryly. "So, you are..."
"A rock star." >>

Rhys Alexander played rhythm guitar for the massive rock band Black Codex, alongside his brother, Xavier. And now that he's trapped somewhere in the afterlife, he wants to contact his brother, to say his goodbyes. Addison is convinced it's a bad idea, that Xavier will write her off as another demented fan but she gives in to his nagging and sends an email. When Xavier phones, she has no idea how to respond.

<< Rhys started to yell, to really holler in her mind. His string of obscenities was so loud she only managed to catch a word here and there, and through it all, she felt his desperation and fear.
"He recognized your voice," she blurted out, wanting to stop the onslaught in her head.
Her ears pulsed in the sudden silence, but then she heard Xavier's response, his voice dark and controlled.
"Who, exactly, recognized my voice?" >>

Xavier insists on meeting her, to determine if she's a fake, or just another "crazy." And that's when it gets even stranger.

<< It felt like someone had fisted her shirt and was pulling her near. And that pull was coming from Xavier's general direction.
Wait. Something was wrong. She felt... empty.
"Rhys?"
Panic flooded her as her eyes flew open and locked on Xavier. He stared at her with a horrified expression on his face, his mouth moving soundlessly. Then his gaze darted from side-to-side as his hands gripped his head.
Her breath caught as the realization slammed into her. "Rhys," she whispered, reaching out to Xavier as if he held an element of her soul she couldn't breathe without.>>

Of course, sometime during the weeks they spent `together', she started to fall for him.

<< "Rhys?"
Mmmm. He sounded lazy, relaxed. And for whatever reason, she pictured his big, strong body all kicked back into a mass of fluffy pillows... with his shirt off, a hint of stubble across his jaw, dark hair tousled, and a deep sensuality shadowing his eyes as he flipped the top button of his jeans open...>>

But how can a normal girl have any kind of relationship with a dead guy? You'll have to take my word how fabulous this book is, and read it for yourself < smug smile >

I was captivated from the first page and I couldn't put it down. I just wish it had been longer. Thankfully, Jolyn Palliata intends more in the Twists of Fate series - the sooner the better for me :-)

A very definite 5 out of 5.

Connected Twists of Fate Book 1 edition by Jolyn Palliata Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

When I read the description for this one, I wasn't so sure about it! I ended up really, really liking it. Most of the book is about a dead man who gets inside the head of a woman who also died very briefly and yet it was a completely enthralling paranormal romance!

If you enjoyed bad boy rocker Kellan from the S.C. Stephens Thoughtless Series, you will like Rhys from Connected. Yes, there is the big issue of one being there in mind and body (Kellan) and well one being there is just mind (Rhys) but Rhys has that bad boy rocker edge to him that captivated me even in his not really there state.

Addison was not Rhys type in his living state from all accounts. She seemed kind of closed off and not very social. During the weeks she spent "with" Rhys, she had very little contact with others and went on one date with a man that seemed less than swoon-worthy! She does not seem like the type of girl that would date a guy in a band.

Rhys had a free-spirited existence in life and didn't seem to be lacking when it came to girls. He had edge and a bit of a temper but was so sweet to Addison. He certainly added some excitement to Addison's date)

The story was creative, centering on one "living" character for most of the story, but yet the premise of a dead man talking to her, feeling her emotions, and seeing what she sees was so incredibly romantic. Rhys and Addison had great chemistry but if it had not been for his death and her near death, I do not think they would have ever met. AND, there is a big twist at the end of this one that you may not see coming!
Like all romances, this is the story of a man and woman who don't want to fall in love, but can't resist their feelings, yet other forces keep them apart. In Connected, that thing is death. Addison is a shy, reserved photographer who dies during surgery and has a near-death experience in which she meets a man who forges an instant, psychic connection with her. After Addison is brought back to life and recovers, she's surprised to find the other presence still in her head, the snarky and obnoxious yet intriguing rock star named Rhys Alexander. I usually find a story tiresome when it goes on for chapters and the characters never get out of the car/apartment/house/etc. Connected goes on for chapters and the characters never get out of Addison's *head*, yet it never got boring. Rhys is full of snappy, fun dialogue, along with Addison's attempt to resist him, and their emotional journey is quite a ride as the cocky rocker and the quiet, young woman's relationship develops. As another reviewer mentioned, the love scenes are creative, unique and believable. The only thing that kept me from rating this 5 stars was the ending (I would've given it 4-1/2 if I could). I had no trouble suspending belief that a second soul would take up residence in a woman's body, but it was a bit of a stretch to believe that she had no idea of the bigger-picture situation. Still, it was a satisfying ending. I'd highly recommend Connected, and will definitely pick up the next book in the series when it comes out!
