Description As Books Hereafter (Hereafter #1)
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.Point Books Toward Hereafter (Hereafter #1)

With the market for paranormal YA romance so over-saturated these days, I find myself getting pickier and pickier about the books Ill heap praise on and the series Ill commit to following through into additional books. After all, there are SO many multi-books series popping up these days, and not all of them feel worthy of the multi-book treatment.But I can say with absolute certainty that Tara Hudsons Hereafter is one new paranormal YA series that I will see through to the next book.The bookIve been vacillating back and forth between how I feel about Hereafter, the debut novel of Tara Hudson, and I still cant seem to make up my mind. So, I figured it was time to do another pros and cons list rather than a formal review.Pros:- The first chapter manages to ensnare the reader into the story and convey just how terrifying Amelias nightmares are.- The writing flows nicely and I enjoyed reading Hereafter.- The secondary characters are or seem pretty interesting.- I could feel the
Two and a half stars: A paranormal romance between a ghost and a boy..Dark, crushing water pushes her down, choking gasping...the nightmare, again. Amelia is a ghost, constantly reliving the nightmarish drowning that killed her. She remains trapped in stasis. Stuck in our world with no knowledge of her previous life or the circumstances surrounding her demise. She constantly finds herself plunged back into the river at the moment of her death, only to wake sometime later in the graveyard. She
I'm sorry I didn't finish you. Okay, maybe I'm not. This book is really boring. There is no tension in the pace, no urgency in the writing, and absolutely no chemistry between the two leads. The writing is rough, unpolished, and suffering from a lot of repetition. There is nothing that makes the female character, Amelia, stand out. She's just so blah. Oh wait, she somehow MIRACULOUSLY is ace at Calculus, just when our guy needs it. Uh huh, right. After she saves him the BOTH of the fall so fast
I just read this book by my fellow Dark Days of Summer author, Tara Hudson. And completely lost myself in her tale. Amelia's story is so touching, and Tara doles it out little by littleletting the reader discover her protagonist's mysterious past as she does. I love boys who are unwavering and Joshua is a prize. And Eli's sexy repulsiveness really did its work on me. *shudders* Bravo to Tara for writing a chilling ghost story set convincingly in a contemporary world.
No, she was chosen because of her powers. It's explained later on.And he DOES have friends. But in the later books, it just shows that Joshua doesn't
Caution: Cheesy 90s movie references aheadI really argued with myself about this rating because I did really like the book. Joshua was charming, and the pacing was great. But what kept me from giving it four stars was my lack of interest in ghost stories. I just couldn't connect with the plot, and there were so many bits about Amelia's ghost life that didn't make sense that I couldn't get over.Paranormal romance gets a lock of criticism about being the same. That there's a formula for every
