Summary: (from goodreads) While Mary lies in a glass coffin aboard a ghost train heading west, her minions await her re-awakening by bringing hordes of new souls into Everlost to serve her.
Meanwhile, Jackin’ Jill has met Jix, a fur-jacker — a skinjacker who can take over the bodies of animals, most notably jaguars. Jix serves a Mayan god who collects Everlost coins to use in his Wurlitzer, which predicts the future.
In the concluding volume of the Skinjacker trilogy, Neal Shusterman reveals new sides of the characters of Everlost, who are pitted against each other in a battle that may destroy all life on Earth.
Mary Hightower will stop at nothing to put her plan in to action and finally destroy all the living so all her children can stop suffering. But after she awakes from her most recent death, thanks to Scar Wraith, Mary speeds the process and begins to cause havoc and create devastating events among the living. Nick, Mikey, Allie and allies are desperate to stop her and her minion. There’s a particular character who caught my attention because of how cool his name is. Jix is a furjacker, meaning he skinjacks animals and Jix prefers Jaguars. He has skinjacked so many Jaguars that he’s beginning to look like one. These are the characters among the many that really caught my attention and kept it. Like I said there are a lot of characters and the author does give each one their own POV making it a bit confusing, at least for me.
Although, I didn’t read the second book, there are too many characters and it’s a bit confusing I have to say this book was enjoyable due to Neil Shusterman’s writing. I would recommend this book only to those of you who are into these types to stories, Dark, complex, Enigmatic, dramatic and who doesn’t mind reading about dying children.
