Before I Wake (BIW) is the 5th book in the Soul Screamers series. Kaylee Cavanaugh is a Bean Sidhe (Ban Shee) and she sings for the souls of the departed so that they can be collected and recycled. In BIW Kaylee is rejoining the world of the living, because not even being dead can keep you from attending school! Hellions are wearing the souls of some of the people that Kaylee has already sung for during their last moments, and using those souls to walk around and murder people on this side of the fog. By wearing their skins, the hellions and demons on no longer bound to the Netherworld. Avari, a hellion who wants Kaylee's pure soul more than he has wanted anything in a long time, will use the souls of some of Kaylee's friends as his facade to get close and torture her while he steals more souls to torture in the Netherworld.

While Kaylee is fighting Avari, she is getting even closer to her grim reaper (and fellow bean sidhe) boyfriend Tod. Kaylee's ex is having a hard time coming to terms with Kaylee and Tod's relationship, maybe because he is Tod's brother, or maybe it is because he was accused of killing Kaylee (before she was reinstated into her body). The main reason that Kaylee was reinstated was to be part of the reclamation department, reclaiming lost and stolen souls. Being reinstated to her body has allowed Kaylee a chance to continue to protect her loved ones from Avari and other hellions, but will it be enough? Can she be a girlfriend, a student and a reclamation worker?
