What DOES await us there?… Excellent question!
I think the fact that no one knows makes it that much more mysteriously alluring. I’d love to find out what younger readers in the target age group would think of this one as a whole (because it at least suggests to them that living a good life might give them a better chance at experiencing a good afterlife).

Well the good thing about this one is that it’s not really scary at all! It certainly wouldn’t fit into the horror genre; it’s more of an “other fiction” YA novel. But I totally see and respect your viewpoint and cautious hesitation!

Thanks so much!! This one is thought-provoking and only minimally scary so it’s also a nice work of historical fiction too.

Post by MsH2k »

This book has quite a few deep topics. Mixed with the ghost fiction and paranormal lore, it sounds like an intriguing story. I'm not one for hanging out by gravesites when I don't have to, so I will pass on this one.
Thank you for your engaging and descriptive review!

I think I might like this book: the plot is interesting, and the fact that is not very long could help me when I am in a reading slump. Thank you for the review!

Latest Review: Remembering Stardust by C. D. Baker

Post by Kirsi Cultrera »

😱 there’s too much paranormal activity and afterlife for my taste in this book! However, I find it interesting that the author has included characters from so many different beliefs. And the cover is awesome, it captured my attention.

Thanks for a glowing review!

Within a 233 page book, I expect this book to be the eventful story of souls looking for a path for the afterlife. Thanks for sharing this beautiful review.

This one piqued my interest in a lot of ways, and I’m sure it would leave many readers pondering the possibilities of an afterlife. The ghostly characters and paranormal portals certainly kept me guessing! 🪦
