Hereafter (Hereafter #1) by Tara Hudson
3 1/2 Stars
Can there truly be love after death?
Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead. With no recollection of her past life--or her actual death--she's trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.
Amelia and Joshua grow ever closer as they begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that held her captive for so long. But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit named Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their newfound happiness and drag Amelia back into the ghost world . . . forever.
Thrilling and evocative, with moments of pure pleasure, Hereafter is a sensation you won't want to miss.
This book wasn't my favorite out of all the one's I read. It started off fine and hooked me into it but then it got really slow and I never really had the urge to pick it up because I HAD to see what happened next. I never really connected with any of the characters like I do in so many other well written books. The ending was pretty good though and I'm looking forward to reading the next one... I'm just hoping that it won't be as boring as the first one. I would say that it is worth a try though.
Happy Reading!
