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 the begin to uncover the strange circumstances of her death and the secrets of the dark river that help her captive for so long.  But even while they struggle to keep their bond hidden from the living world, a frightening spirit names Eli is doing everything in his power to destroy their new found 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.

My review:

It starts off with a girl names Amelia, the only thing she knows is her name and that she is dead.  She knows she drowned even though it took her awhile to figure it out.  She keeps reliving her drowning until now night when a boy named Joshua almost drowns.  He actually dies but she does everything she can so he doesn't have the same fate as hers.  With this experience she and Joshua (her Joshua) has a connection now  He can see and touch her even though she is dead and he is not.  Add a evil ghost named Eli and Joshua's family secrets and you have one good story. 

I LOVE THIS COVER!  Have you read Hereafter, if so what did u think?  Happy Reading!
