In this mystical love story, there is just one thing keeping Rebecca and Sebastian apart. She is living and he is dead. They meet when he shows up in her life one day, a spirit seeking her help. Together they enlist Albert, a widowed college professor, who reluctantly allows them the use of his body so that Sebastian can return to physical form and earn his redemption. It seems to be a love affair that cannot last, but the three discover that there is an eternity of wonderment for each of them to look forward to. The only question for this trio — who stays and who goes?
(...) In the beginning, I must say, I was a kind afraid of what I was going to read, just because this issue is not referred in books very often. Also, I am very sceptical about life after death and spiritualist religion. Nevertheless, I was interested in finding out Michele DeLuca point of view and the story was gradually catching me. (...) Just like the main character, I felt death as a softer thing (...). Maybe Heaven does exist and it gathers all the people... Or maybe this is the best way to think of death and deal with it. (...)
Different from anything I have ever read. I enjoyed the book. Found it made me seriously think about the subject matter, though alot of it was what I have felt happens for a long time now. Interesting and not your usual love story. Yet it was comforting in a way .
5 Stars. This metaphysical novel has nice flow, is exciting and gives a whole new take on emotional healing in the wake of death, separation and divorce in the reinvention of love in all relationships in the spiritual community of Lily Dale, New York. Highly recommend.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing this ebook for review.
I loved this story! The spirituality central to the novel resonated with me and the message that the death of the corporeal body is not an ending but a transition was wonderfully written. I usually delete ebooks after I read them, but this one I will keep and eagerly look for more titles by this author.
Different from anything I have ever read , but I enjoyed it so much. It is interesting love story, but not typical love story that's for sure. The love and energy that flows throughout is beautifully described and worth the trip.

Such insightful and believable words that spoke to my heart. I have often thought about the hereafter and Michele has reaffirmed my own belief. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forever More is an amazing novel. The romance part was really interesting but the other part of the story was simply stunning. The book is very well written and absolutely engaging. There are answers to some questions you didn't even know you had...
I do not normally read love stories, it's not my thing but this book was so different. The story follows Rebecca who has returned home to Lily Dale, a spiritual community in rural NY state after a negative life event looking to find herself. With the help of her mentor Maeve she begins a spiritual journey. Through channeling and meditation she meets Sebastian, a spirit who would like to redeem himself with his family. Sebastian wasn't a good father of husband and feels saddened and guilty about that. Sebastian is drawn to Rebecca feeling a kinship of some kind. Rebecca is welcoming and wants to help him in any way she can. Sebastian inhabits Albert's body through channeling and with Rebecca's help they go to Sebastian's granddaughter's home to free her from an abusive relationship. Rebecca, Albert and Sebastian bond through the experience. Rebecca and Sebastian fall in love. Albert reunites with his wife in the afterlife while his body is being used by Sebastian. The story is told in a sensitive, compelling way that draws you in. You feel for the characters involved. Michele DeLuca connects our world to the afterlife in a detailed and wondrous way. She makes the transition between the two seamless. She examines the fear of death giving us the hope and possibility that there is nothing to fear. That death doesn't end our life it just ends our life here in this world. It's intriguing. Michele's belief comes through in her writing.
To find something that parallels my beliefs and understanding? Priceless! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with thoughts of death, dying, fear, loss, guilt or any of the other emotions we consider negative. We are here to love, to learn, to share. Thank you for such a beautiful book!
I visited Lily Dale many years and has a reading. It was a little scary and somewhat comforting. I wish I had taken the advice given to me, but at 19 years old, you are skeptical of a stranger knowing better than you. This book was good other than the gratuitous sex. It seemed unnecessary for for their story.
Reminded me a bit of the movie "Ghost." Nice enough story for a lazy day of reading. Nothing complicated. If you enjoy love stories with a ghostly twist, you'll enjoy this one! I received a Kindle Arc from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.
Soooooo .... I did like the book ..... I thought the story could of been a lot more ... Towards the end I was just wanted to finish the book .... But I really did enjoy the story and the idea of love from beyond and the idea of past lives and what all.
Interesting novel about mediums . I've never read anything like this before and I did find it a little difficult to get into as I guess I just felt that it wasn't believable but part way through I was hooked. I also loved the end of the novel where DeLuca has written epilogues for the main characters involved .
