In a world where the dead speak and the unseen can be seen, Zoe grapples with a chilling ability that sets her apart. Welcome to "After Life" by acclaimed paranormal author Jacquie Underdown. Seventeen-year-old Zoe craves nothing more than to blend in, to be just another teenager navigating high school. But how can she, when she has an uncanny ability to interact with spirits? Hiding her spectral sight becomes her priority when she moves to a new town, hoping to cloak herself in a shroud of normalcy. But the dead aren't so easily silenced. They expose Zoe's secrets, branding her as the town's resident pariah. As her world crumbles around her, Zoe quickly realizes that in this life, trust is a commodity she can scarcely afford, especially when it involves those from the realm of the departed. Yet, in the face of despair, a revelation is Zoe is far from ordinary, her role extending beyond this life. Haunting glimpses of the afterlife unfold before her, and with them, a deep-seated responsibility that will force her to make the most agonising decision she's ever faced. Will Zoe cling to the familiar confines of her human existence, or will she dare to embrace the world that waits beyond the veil of death? A world that may just harbour the answers she has been desperately seeking... "After Life" is an enchanting tale of courage and discovery that tugs at the boundaries between life and death. As you journey through its pages, you'll plunge into a world of secrets, betrayal, and a paranormal destiny that will leave you questioning the very nature of existence. For fans of supernatural and fantasy fiction, this riveting tale promises to hold you captive till the very end. Step into the world of "After Life" and brace yourself for an adventure like no other.
