By far my favorite of the series. Unlike so many people who write for a YA audience in the urban fantasy/YA subgenres, RV makes her characters suffer the consequences of their actions--big-time. She also expects them, just like her adult characters, to grow the hell up. All these things happen in If I Die, and it's fantastic and totally unexpected. All Things Urban Fantasy did a great review that summarizes a lot of my feelings on the latest installment of this series: http://allthingsurbanfantasy.blogspot... (Oh, and this book cemented Tod as my favorite character in the series, by a wide margin.)
