Okay. I will admit I enjoyed it but there is something that is seriously bothering me.. Either I missed something or there was a HUGE plot hole. 
 Review to come monday, 3/17 for tour 
 *UPDATE, REVIEW* 
 3.5 stars 
 *I received this book from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.* 
 Liv, Forever caught my eye, not because of the cover- although it is eye-catching, but because it's a "ghost" story. I haven't read many books where the protagonist dies and becomes a ghost, and the idea behind it and how an author will execute a story like this, is beyond interesting. And it was. Not to mention, it's a boarding school. I love boarding school settings. 
 Olivia, or Liv, is accept into Wickham Hall, a prestigious boarding school. Soon after her arrival, she finds out pretty quick that she doesn't fit in, weird things start to happen and she gets involved with one of the Victors, Malcolm. After one night of sneaking out, Liv is murdered and her murder is covered up as a suicide. She enlists the help of Gabe, the only living person whom can see her, and eventually Malcolm, to solve her murder and the murders of all the girls before her. 
 I really enjoyed Liv, Forever. It had this Gothic feel to the setting that I loved and the writing was very engaging. There were a lot of Art references that were pretty interesting, albeit over the top. I only knew about a few paintings, so I spent some time on Google. But I digress. We also get chapters from the other girls before they died. While it wasn't necessary to the plot (in my opinion), it was one of my favorite parts of the book. The mystery behind the murders and the Victors was very, very good. I couldn't really put my finger on WHY this group of people would murder these girls, it was pretty intense and quite scary, if I were honest. 
 Liv is a strong and likeable main character. She had spent quite a stint in Foster care, and is very artistic and different, which I loved. I loved her determination to solve her murder and those before her. Although I didn't connect to the romance as I felt I should have, I loved that she at least got to see love before she died. That, was sweet. 
 My Peeve - You know me and how I get stuck on something, in almost every book I read. As we unravel the WHY's of all the murders, we see a pattern of how often a student goes missing. Either I missed something, or this was overlooked. If this pattern was true, then Liv's murder should never have happened in the first place. View Spoiler >> Also, towards the end, when we hear the start of this... custom of the Victors, we get the full back story and it was really sad. 
 Overall- I really did enjoy Liv, Forever. It's very dark, thought-provoking and beautiful. I had my one issue with it that I got hung up on, but overall, I do recommend it.
