“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.” 
Now this is one book that totally blew me off my feet! The plot! OMG!, the plot. It had me hooked from the very first page! I like that this book has very unique idea. The way it was played out was good. I enjoyed learning and going along with the characters as they discovered the past that they have forgotten.

The characters in this book I loved. I like how the main character was lost. It made the story much more juicier cause you, as the reader, get to experience everything as the first just like her. Amelia is so strong and different. I even enjoyed her willingness to finds things out. After sitting out for a while, she wanted answers!!

The love interest in the book is what makes this book rock. It like a love that is forbidden and somewhat impossible. I like how well they connected with each other from the first time that they meant. It seemed as though they had a long history with each other. You knew they were meant to be together. The obstacles they went through were the same as any other couple but still a little much harder. I can only hope that they can have a future together.

Hereafter is a great, haunting book with a love that is forbidden and worth fighting for. Her plot twists were amazing as well as the details going into the book. The places, feelings, and characters you can all feel and see in your head. This is one book you don’t want to miss reading!

I give it 5 BITES!

Happy Reading!
