Even if I feel like they\u2019re conspiring against me. The older woman narrows her eyes and purses her thins lips, the wrinkles forming even deeper lines around her mouth. \u201cYou\u2019re still here.\u201d \u201cYeah, still in the right place, just wrong time.\u201d I fall into the faded zebra print chair, dust plumes up like a volcanic eruption. \u201cThe Spirits haven\u2019t given away any secrets on how I can get back to the right spot in my life, have they?<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, there\u2019s some upside to being here, my badass car, cool house, a full head of hair\u2026\u201d I twirl my finger around a loose curl. Astrid shuffles behind the crooked checkout desk and leans on her forearms. \u201cHa!\u201d she scoffs. \u201cIn case you haven\u2019t noticed, the Spirits are like bored, naughty children. Eternity is a very long time, so they get their kicks any way they can.\u201d I tilt my head. \u201cWho are these Spirits anyway?\u201d Not that I believe any of this, but if this is what the afterlife has to offer, then I can totally get behind messing with psychics.<\/p>\n<p>She shrugs. \u201cIt\u2019s like a chorus. Some are my ancestors, other seers who guide me from the Beyond. Some are souls who lived on other planes of existence, places that still believe in magic.\u201d Astrid huffs a laugh. \u201cAnd others just like to drop in and stir metaphysical shit up.\u201d I tilt my head and narrow my eyes. \u201cWhich ones are behind this?\u201d I wave a hand around my head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ones from another plane? I can\u2019t imagine there\u2019s anyone else in this world dealing with\u2026this level of metaphysical shit.\u201d Not that I can put words around exactly what I\u2019m dealing with. My mom always complained about hot flashes. Is this a bad case of the flash forwards? \u201cYou\u2019d be surprised. So, are you here to torment me alongside these insufferable Spirits?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.

He calls all of us by our last names, which is really pretty badass. Like I\u2019ve finally shed the too-tight skin of teenage years and, finally moving into my twenties, I\u2019m free to be more than Emily Murray, or even Em.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Murray, a modern woman eager to blaze into the new millennium with a change-the-world-career\u2014and a rock star boyfriend. \u201cSo, Murray,\u201d Ross says. \u201cI suggest waiting to explore Impressionism once you\u2019ve mastered the techniques of realism. I mean, if you continue with art and you\u2019re not just satisfying a credit.\u201d \u201cOh yeah, I was trying&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
