Description

Somebody wanted Minerva Rus dead. They succeeded. But Minerva isn’t letting a little thing like death stop her. After the dangerous adventure that killed her in Memortality, Minerva Rus has reconciled herself to being dead. She and her also-dead boyfriend Raven share an amazing gift that allows them to bring the dead back to life―including each other. Now that Jules, their most dangerous enemy, has been banished from reality and trapped inside her own mind, Minerva and Raven plan on enjoying the eternity of their unnatural lives. But immortality isn’t safe. Minerva and Raven’s life-giving powers mysteriously fade, forcing them to take refuge in The Between, a shadowy realm of memories that lies between life and death. What's more, their old adversary Jules is on the loose, partnered with a resurrected Nazi scientist planning a monstrous experiment that will change the destiny of the human race. And now it's up to a 21-year-old dead girl to save the world―again.

How do you like being dead?
Minerva scowled and exhaled hard as she rose from the floor. She extended a hand for help, but Amber shook her head. You re a big girl. Do it yourself.
Minerva s scowl deepened as she got up quickly the way she d been practicing, using only her feet. Look, Ma, no hands, she quipped as she jumped up, making it look far easier than it was. And being dead has its advantages. Like why do I have to learn all this self-defense stuff? My wounds just heal up anyway. The real danger s all up here. She tapped her temple with an index finger.
That s the point, to make you mentally tough, Carson interjected, standing off to the side, near the bleachers. The more challenges you face, the more prepared you ll be for the next one.
Yes, Sensei, she said, putting her hands together and bowing slightly toward the government agent. Dressed in a Men in Black-style outfit, he looked like a younger, slightly less rugged Tommy Lee Jones. Or should I call you Yoda?
The farce is strong with this one, Amber laughed. Quit stalling. I ve already killed you eleven times. And you didn t answer my question: How do you like being dead?
I was dead before you killed me, remember? That s what makes this whole thing a little pointless ugh!
She absorbed a sidekick to her midsection that sent her back to the ground.
Twelve, Amber said. Minerva hopped to her feet more quickly this time.
No fair. I wasn t ready, she shouted, genuinely angry as she whirled to face Amber.
Will you be ready when one of Jules goons jumps you? Carson asked calmly. She may be out of commission, but who s to say there aren t others out there? Not to mention your garden variety assholes, purse-snatchers, rapists shall I continue?
Jules was Minerva s nemesis, the person who had put her in this situation. If it hadn t been for Jules, Minerva wouldn t have been killed, and she wouldn t have needed to go into hiding.
Minerva telegraphed a right that Amber deftly grabbed before it could reach her chin, throwing her attacker off balance and back to the blue wrestling mat, once again.
Thirteen.
Minerva growled and hopped up. She wasn t about to let Amber beat her, even if the nimble, smarter version of Wonder Woman did hold black belts in two martial arts and a brown belt in a third, not to mention being an experienced kickboxer, skydiver, backpacker, and physician. Minerva, for her part, had spent most of her life in a wheelchair. Once she d finally managed to overcome that particular constraint (with Raven guiding and motivating her), she d promptly let herself be killed in a hail of police bullets (again, with Raven providing the motivation). Raven was almost as much trouble as Jules, but he was cute. And nice. That made all the difference.
Minerva smiled slightly and brought to mind the memory of her head hitting the mat hard a moment earlier, directing the thought at Amber. The ability to project her own memories into other people s minds could come in handy. Sometimes painfully.
Hey! her opponent said. No fair.
Minerva shrugged. If you can fight dirty
Amber shook her head. Believe it or not, I was taking it easy on you, Sis. You re a beginner, that s obvious, but you re making progress. It s like a video game: You ve got to start at the newbie level and work your way up. I d say you re about at Level 3 now.
Out of how many?
Oh, maybe 184. But who s counting? She laughed.
How s she doing? Raven asked as he walked through the double doors at the far end of the gym.
Well enough for a newb, Amber said. She knew the question had been directed at her; Raven rarely spoke to Carson or even acknowledged his presence. The man had killed Raven s grandmother.
Raven nodded approvingly. Whatever insecurities Minerva might have, he knew she was the toughest person in the room. He was here because of her sheer force of will. Her memory had brought him back from the no-man s land of death, and then she d sacrificed herself to keep him here. The fact that they were both dead, yet still very much aware and functioning, could get pretty confusing. All he could do was accept it and enjoy every moment with the childhood friend he had grown to love.
Minerva was less accepting, but she had struggled her whole life, so that was natural. In fact, it was her take-no-prisoners attitude that made her as strong as she was.
Ready for a break? Raven asked.
Minerva shook her head. I m not done here. She turned her attention back to Amber and assumed a fighting stance.
Amber, who was standing about eight feet away, put her hands at her sides. You don t have to pro
