Realms Of Elysium
The Absolute
“Beyond this realm are things the mind cannot comprehend, and dying is often the only way to understand them.”
Twelve years ago, a tragic incident robbed Sam of everything he cherished. Forced into a world beyond the living, he’s having a hard time saying goodbye to the life he left behind. When Sam’s guardian offers up a position to help maneuver spirits, he jumps at the opportunity, hoping that by keeping busy, it will help him adjust to his new home in the Absolute.
Now, Sam spends his days assisting other spirits on their own journey through the realms of Elysium, where he guides the deceased with a strict set of policies. Unfortunately, everything changes once a young woman appears with no memory of who she is or how she arrived. Breaking every rule set forth by the Guardians, Sam is determined to get answers.
With the help of his colleagues, they set out together for the grand city of Akasha. However, like everything in life, so goes the afterlife. The answers he’s looking for will lead them to an evil that has been contained for centuries, but is now on the brink of escape.

This is the first I've read by this author and it won't be the last. Few authors can drag me into a story and make me feel like I'm there, but S.B. certainly does that. From the first page to the last, I felt like I was in the corner, watching the action. I hate reviews that give away some of the action, so I won't do ANY of that. Let me just say there are some "Oh, no" moments and some giggle moments. One thing I can tell you is this... I bet some of you won't be able to put it down until you're done with it :)

So reads the back cover copy of “The Absolute,” the first book in the “Realms of Elysium” series by SB Crews. But that barely scrapes the surface of this highly detailed and uniquely imagined book (I would not have come up with this idea in a thousand years!) that includes well-defined characters, surprising plot twists and more. I don’t want to give away too much because it is well worth the read! I’m looking forward to the next book in the series—The Veil.
