That's also what makes Amelia such an interesting character. After all, she's fighting against a force that makes it nearly impossible for Joshua and her to be together, she's a ghost and he's human. She's battling the ever dark forces that are trying to claim her, her stained relationship is taking a toll on her, and no matter how hard she tries to fight between her ghost life and the human life she yearns for, things never work out the way she hopes. Tara did a fabulous job in allowing me to understand the motives behind Amelia's decisions. I didn't except to feel so torn and emotionally invested the way I did with this sequel. I loved how New Orleans's rich history played a huge part in Amelia's story and her quest for answers.Īmelia's journey is full of heartbreak and some startling twists. I've not been to New Orleans, but I felt like I got to see it first hand through Tara's vivid descriptions of this vibrant city. It's more emotional, a little darker and has this amazing historical setting in New Orleans, which was the perfect stage for some of the things that happen in this book. The stakes are higher in this book, and I felt like Amelia's story took on a more serious tone. I loved what Tara did in HEREAFTER, and really enjoyed the direction the story went in ARISE. This is another fabulous, must read sequel. I'm so excited, I'm quoted on the back of the ARC!
