- Summary:
-
From the acclaimed, internationally bestselling author of the Mercy series and The Astrologer's Daughter comes a chilling ghost story linked to the compelling Mercy universe. Since her parents died in a freak motorbike accident, Sophie Teague's life has fallen apart. But she's just enrolled at a new high school, hoping for a fresh start. That's until Eve, a beautiful ghost in black, starts making terrifying nightly appearances, wanting Sophie to be her hands, eyes and go-to girl. here are loose ends that Eve needs Sophie to tie up. But dealing with the dead might just involve the greatest sacrifice of all. Dark, thrilling and unrelentingly eerie, Afterlight will take you deep into the heart of a dangerous love story, revealing the otherworldly - and deadly - pull of past wrongs that only the living can put right. 'As in her triumphant The Astrologer's Daughter, Lim carefully unspools her tightly plotted fantastical mystery with a reluctant, socially maladroit heroine and an unlikely partner at the center. Her insistent focus on murders of people at society's fringes and the ability of teen girls to right truly foul injustices are both most welcome...Readers will hold out hope for a second installment set in Lim's richly imagined world.' - Kirkus Longlisted for the Davitt Awards
