Dead Girl Dancing

Singleton, Linda Joy. Dead Girl Dancing. 2009, 264 p. ISBN 978-0738714066.

In Dead Girl Walking, Amber found out her grandmother ran the Temp Lifer program, where the souls of those desperately needing rest were replaced by temporary souls to ease their suffering and continue to live their lives. After being hit by a postal truck, Amber had entered Leah’s body and live her life for a while following Leah’s suicide attempt. When she was finally able to go home, she told her grandmother that she would be willing to help out again.

She didn’t plan on her grandmother making use of her services right away. Instead of returning to her unconscious body in the hospital, Amber ends up in Sharayah Rockingham’s. Problem number one? Rayah is Eli’s sister. Eli is Amber’s boyfriend. Awkward. Problem number 2? Rayah is in college, and when Amber gains control of the body she finds herself drunk, with a pounding headache, and $1,000 in her purse. Problem number 3? She has no idea what Rayah’s problem is, or what she needs to do to solve it. Problem number 4? She and Rayah’s friends are heading to Venice Beach for a week of Spring Break, and Amber can barely get a call to Eli before they’re off.

With a stalker lurking in the background and with Eli upset that his girlfriend is now in his sister’s body, how will Amber manage to solve Rayah’s issues before it becomes too dangerous for her grandmother to allow her to complete her mission?
