Summary:

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.



Book Review:
SOOO CUTE! You'd think that since it was a ghost story that it would be a little darker. It was basically a Romance book for teens. I liked it, but it was mushy. I like some of books where there is romance and I don't like others. I don't know why this is. I guess it has something to do with the writing skills of the author. Well anyways I liked this book. It was another short quick read, and it was light. I mainly wanted to read it because it had a pretty cover. I know that I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I couldn't help myself. As for the story I really liked it. It isn't one of those books that I will read over and over, and never forget, but it was pretty good. I liked the idea that a ghost could still fall in love. Plus I liked the part that Eli played. Normally I'm into series. For some reason I tend not to like books that aren't part of a series. This is definitely an exception. If your looking for a book that is mainly just romance, and is a quick read then this book is for you.

  1. thanks for the review! It is interesting to read about but I'm not a fan of mushy books so it's great to know this is probably not one for me.
