Not only is Amelia on the run from psycho ghosts and other frightening creatures, she is faced with a seemingly impossible decision: should she finally move on and let Joshua live a normal, ghostless life where he is safe from harm, or risk him and everyone else she cares for because of her own selfish wants? I honestly did not want the couple to break up, but of course, the only rational decision would be to do whatever it took to keep Joshua safe. There were so many different twists and turns, all just adding to the suspense and intensity of the dire situation Amelia is faced with. It's pretty freakin' amazing if I do say so myself. The writing had perfect flow, and obviously, I never came across a dull moment in the book.Īs for the plot itself, I was in awe. Normally I get bored along the way, but Tara Hudson tells Amelia's story in such a way that I had trouble putting this book down. Naturally, I have read a few ghostly love stories but never has one captured my interest for throughout the whole book. If the cover wasn't amazing enough, the story itself would make up for it. But Clary is a whole other story you can read my review expressing my dislike of her in the City of Lost Souls hereīut back to Arise. That was not-so-subtle example of one lead female who I cannot stand. It's one of the few that doesn't have a female protagonist that drives me insane *cough* Clary from the Immortal Instruments *cough*. This is one of my favorite series as of this moment. Now, I have been DYING to get my hands on this book, which is the second book in Tara Hudson's Hereafter series, the first book being Hereafter, of course. Before I begin reviewing the book, I just wanna ask, 'How gorgeous is this cover?!' I mean seriously, it is perhaps my favorite cover ever, even if it is a creepy gaveyard.
