I got this e-book free of cost from the author in exchange of an honest review & I would like to thank author Debra Robinson for this wonderful opportunity.

The story line and the plot is unique, it's fresh and captivating. The story will grab your attention and interest from the very first page and will make you turn the pages till you devour it in one take. Well I did read it within a day and never felt bored for even a second. The story revolves around the main protagonist that is Sarah and her quest in the afterlife.

Sarah dies, well temporarily (you'll know what I mean at the end of the story) and wakes up in spirit form hovering over her own dead body then she finds her elder brother Jesse who died two years ago in an accident, Jesse's spirit helps Sarah to get a grip on her new situation and takes her to SHADOW LAND, which is the in-between place between light and dark in the afterlife. Jesse explained to Sarah that she had a responsibility of saving her father's soul who killed himself due to the loss of his son and thus was mislead by bad spirits into the cave of consequences as they were attracted by his negative vibes.Jesse went to the light but got permission to return to 'Shadow Land' in order to help his sister find their dad's soul and rescue him by taking him to light.

Meanwhile the negative spirits or demons who were the fallen angels were on their own game plan, they gathered the souls with negative vibes and tortured them for eternity and when they got hold of Jesse as a trespasser, Sarah made a deal with the demon to find her father and if she succeed then the demon will let Jesse go.

In her lonely journey she got the company of handsome Charlie who seemed suspiciously weird to Sarah but as she needed company she didn't protest against his offering. They made the rest of the journey together to the cave and rescued her father, a friend of his brother (Sam, who is gay) and a little girl Maya by fighting with zombies and boogieman and whatnot (though the spirits in the shadow land could create a replica of whatever they thought but they were not real, just wisps who were void of emotions).

Sarah meet another handsome boy named Jason and she get herself caught in-between these two guys, the attraction she felt towards Jason was just lust but she fall in love with Charlie for real.

At last with the help of her friends and supposedly boyfriends she escapes the demon and frees her brother as well but Charlie turns out to be a demon but as she selflessly risks his soul for saving Sarah, he turns back into a good angel and travel to the light. Sarah and her band of friends and family travel to light but she was sent back to Earth while the others got inside the realm of light. The demon Azeel who was the head of all these malicious moves follows Sarah back to Earth to take her with him.

This is one of the most interesting story I've ever read. It's truly fast pacing and will truly satisfy your crave for fantasy and paranormal reads and fulfill your expectations. Looking forward to read the next part in this series.
