Trisha, I'm the same way. I also try to avoid those books and movies. I read Lovely Bones and although it was a good book, I had a really hard time reading it. A friend recommended it, but I couldn't get over the death. It kind of cast a shadow over the rest of the book for me. From my friend's recommendation I somehow got the impression it would focus only on her after life, which it does, but it starts out with her murder.

The version I read (if I remember correctly) said Kleypas' mom didn't like the origianal too much so Kleypas reworked it later and had it republished under the new name.
