Hereafter

First off- Hunger Games rocked! Great movie. Totally enjoyed. That being said, if you want a nice, light ghost story romance, Hereafter by Tara Hudson, may be the book for you. Amelia is dead. She keeps reliving her death in the river. One night she sees a boy struggling in the water, she tries to help him, but she's a ghost, so... He dies for a moment and sees her, and she urges him to the surface. He is brought back to life by the paramedics and much to her surprise, he sees her. He comes back to look for her the next day and she has to break the news to him that she is a ghost. Joshua doesn't care, and of course, they fall in love. Obstacles? Of course. His grandmother is a Seer and has made it her life's work to exorcise all ghosts, and Amelia is no different. An evil ghost named Eli wants her for himself- to help capture souls and lead them to the afterlife- not a place of love and roses. And of course, the main obstacle- SHE's A GHOST!! Amelia and Joshua try and figure out who she was and how she died, all the while trying to avoid Joshua's grandmother and Eli. They are determined to overcome the obstacles that are in the way of their love. This is a fun book, the ghost- human loves story is not one I'm fond of- give me vampire, werewolf, Shadowhunter and even zombie love over ghosts anyday. But it is a good read that moves along at a good pace. Doesn't seem like there will be a sequel- but you never know. I've moved on to Infamous, the third book in the Chronicles of Nick series and so far, so good. Spring break is coming to an end my friends, so I need to go and make the most of it. Happy reading my friends!
