			        		&#x201C;Jeff&#x2019;s journey to real empathy takes on issues crucial and relevant to teens: the price of popularity, the importance of being true to one&#x2019;s beliefs, and the need to stand up for others.&#x201D; (ALA Booklist)&#x201C;In a refreshing departure from her plant-based paranormal-romance series, Pike develops the pleasantly fractious relationship between Jeff and Kimberlee in Jeff&#x2019;s earthy, humorous first-person. This brisk, down-to-earth thriller should appeal equally to male and female readers.&#x201D; (Kirkus Reviews)&#x201C;A whirlwind adventure full of secrets, lies, unlikely friendships, and romance.&#x201D; (School Library Journal)PRAISE FOR THE WINGS SERIES: &#x201C;WINGS is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds.&#x201D; (Stephenie Meyer, bestselling author of the Twilight Saga)Mixing a little bit of Harry Potter and a lot of Twilight, Pike has hit on a winning combination. Yet it is her own graceful take on life inside Avalon that adds a shimmering patina sure to enthrall readers.&#x201D; (Booklist (starred review))&#x201C;Silky narration, delicious escapism.&#x201D; (Kirkus Reviews)&#x201C;Pike&#x2019;s clever and innovative way of reinventing fairy tales and myths to make them her own is wonderful...[The] story is rich in vivid details, action, adventure, and romance.&#x201D; (Romantic Times (Top Pick))&#x201C;The series is action-packed, and the final chapters of the story are no exception. A thrilling page-turner, many readers will read the book cover-to-cover, barely daring to breath.&#x201D; (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review))&#x201C;SPELLS is brilliant and lovely. Aprilynne Pike&#x2019;s talent just continues to bloom and I am almost afraid to see how awesome her next book will be.&#x201D; (Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of the Needs series)Who knew faeries could be this cool? ILLUSIONS has it all. It&#x2019;s fascinating, rich, and romantic, and weaves a great new tapestry of thrilling fantasy.&#x201D; (Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of the Wake series)

			        		Kimberlee Schaffer may be drop-dead gorgeous . . . but she also dropped dead last year. Now she needs Jeff&apos;s help with her unfinished business, and she&apos;s not taking no for an answer. When she was alive, Kimberlee wasn&apos;t just a mean girl . . . she was also a kleptomaniac. So if Jeff wants to avoid being haunted until graduation, he&apos;ll have to return everything she stole. But Jeff soon discovers it&apos;s much easier to steal something than it is to give it back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A BookBandit Review
            
*by N***T on August 10, 2014*

When Jeff transfers to Whitestone, a prestigeous high school where he's expect to, not only excel, but also wear a very stifling tie, the last thing he expects to find is a ghost.  Right there, smack in the middle of the main hallway, snapping her bubblegum (rather obnoxiously), with people walking both around and through her.A year ago, Kimberlee Schraffer former queen bee and self-processed great swimmer, died in a freak drowning accident. Not only did the former queen bee leave behind a legacy, but also a cave full of stolen goods.Convinced that her kleptomania is what's keeping her tied to Earth, Kimberlee wants nothing more  but to move on, from this world into the next. But how could she when no one can see or hear her.Until now.Jeff isn't the ideal candidate. But he's the only one available. Kimberlee knows the only way she can truly rest in peace is if she returns every stolen item. And since she cannot technically touch anything, she enlists Jeff to take on this task.Will he be able to right all of her wrongs?Life After Theft, written by author Aprilynne Pike, is a straight up paranormal novel that, beyond being a lot of fun and laughs, is a read that will leave readers with some weighty questions.What made Life After Theft such a great read was the fact that, for me, it was so unexpected. Up until this point I have never read any of author Pike's books, so I had no expectations. I was simply looking for a book to read while on vacation.What I found was a book that I was able to truly sink into. Maybe it's partly because the plot line is unique and holds many twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Pike's breaths life into her characters, even Kimberlee. Jeff's voice is authentic and endearing. While Kimberlee, though often snarky, is an great character that, even though readers will want to dislike, will wind up loving.What made Pike's Life After Theft  such a great read is Pike's writing. Simply put, it's a book that is well written. It's strong, it's witty, it's engaging.Beyond the solid plot and the realistic characters, Life After Theft will leave reader's with many questions, questions that aren't easily answered. Are ghosts real? Why can some see them and some can't? Beyond that, the biggest question (I think, personally) is what happens after one dies?Life After Theft was a really fun book that will leave readers (if they are readers like me) questioning both life and death. Beyond that, it will keep readers laughing, from start to finish.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Kid Tries to Make Friends and Help a Klepto Ghost Make Amenda
            
*by R***L on May 22, 2013*

I read the prequel, One Day More, to Life After Theft first, so I wasn't expecting the book to be from Jeff's point of view, but I enjoyed it. Jeff's new at school and doesn't realize that the girl who's lying in the hallway is actually dead, and he's the only one who can see her ghost. Kimberlee Schaffer starts out without showing how thrilled she is (or should be) that someone can finally see her, but more with the demand that Jeff talk to her and help her. He comes around and Kimberlee begs him to help her return the treasure trove of stuff she's stolen, both from her classmates (she never really had friends), teachers and stores.Jeff agrees, both for the sake of his conscience and to help Kimberlee solve her problem and go back to wherever she's supposed to be, rather than continue haunting him. The two probably wouldn't have been friends when Kimberlee was alive, and what I found interesting is that even though Kimberlee wants all the stolen stuff returned, save for one major plot twist, she is mostly not such a changed person, even after over a year spying on her classmates from afar. Even though the book is called Life After Theft, it's much more about Jeff, as he negotiates his relationship with Sera, who he starts out considering out of his league, and her brother, Khail, who agrees to help him return the stolen goods. I'm not normally a paranormal reader, and sometimes have trouble getting into other worlds, but Kimberlee, aside from being a ghost, seemed pretty normal. I liked that even after she's died, nobody has anything good to say about her (except perhaps Jeff), and that while most people are simply thrilled to get their stuff returned, there are mixed reactions. I also liked Jeff's parents, who seemed permissive while still being loving and concerned, and were a major contrast to Sera and Khail's parents, not to mention Kimberlee's inattentive ones. Definitely a fun YA novel with a twist, and I'd recommend it to paranormal fans as well as those who don't usually read paranormal books.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐ Quick, Fun Read
            
*by J***. on January 18, 2014*

Without it saying so in the summary that Life After Theft was a retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel, I would have never known.  It was a very loose retelling since instead of saving people's life, the main character Jeff is returning people's stuff.  The setting did a great job of being updated and contemporary, but I didn't think this was a great retelling.  The stickers with red flowers on them that Jeff put on the stuff he was returning was really the only tie-in to The Scarlet Pimpernel that I could see.  It was more like Mean Girls meets the 1990's film Ghost Dad that starred Bill Cosby (yes I watched that show all the time as a kid).  I compare it to Mean Girls because these girls in the book were awful to each.  Just awful.  And the reason when we finally find out didn't really justify to mean the extreme hate these girls had.  I can't even remember what it was.The voice of the main character Jeff was very well written and fun to read.  He was snarky and funny.  The plot was a little bland and didn't move along that fast, but the characters were interesting enough that it kept me turning the pages.  I was also curious about why these girls seemed to hate each other so much and that kept me reading as well even though I didn't really like the reason when I found out.Overall, it was a quick, fun read with interesting characters but not that great as a retelling.
