Just because she's dead, it doesn't mean that things are over. Not for KJ. Not for anyone. She must navigate the afterlife to her unnamed and unknown destination, relying on her pagan ethics, her grave goods, and the strangers she meets along the The Christian who died with her, who shares an afterlife but only wants to find God and Heaven. The knight who has guided this journey for centuries, battling his own doubts as he fights to protect his wards. The lost soul who hungers for things he doesn't understand. Be careful. Just because you're dead, that doesn't mean they can't destroy you. The journey begins with the last breath. Beyond life, beyond love, beyond our last heartbeat, there is a perilous road we all must take. By the author of "Neighbors" and "Thistles and Barley"
I must confess, the plot line for this novel intrigued me. I love books with a supernatural, realistic flare to them and K.Z. Miller’s After did not disappoint. This is the first novel I have read by K.Z. Miller and it started off with a bang. I absolutely loved the flow of this story, even when it seemed to slow its pace I found it was only for dramatic effect. The characters are well written, developed properly without giving away too much information and genuine. KJ, the main character, was wounded, terrified and strong from the moment she learned her desolate fate. I love her adventure in the afterlife so much, and the beings she meets along the way add a spark of excitement to the plot. The afterlife K.Z. Miller created was written in a very unique and inventive way which I fell in love with. It wasn’t your typical Ghostly, about to cross over the side kind of adventure. Though there where bits of the story that confused me, this was one novel I am extremely happy I did not pass up.
