THE FAERYS VIEW


Hereafter is a haunting yet romantic tale of Amelia and Joshua. Amelia remembers nothing except that she is dead and she deduces she jumped from the bridge. She doesn’t sleep yet she has what she calls nightmares recalling her drowning, when she wakes up, it’s in the usual places, generally the same cemetery. When she meet’s Joshua he’s experiencing a near death experience and just for a moment he sees her and that’s all it takes to start this beautiful love story.


It isn’t all love and happily ever after, though. Something extremely evil lurks and Joshua’s family has strange abilities. There are many forces trying to tear them apart but will true love prevail? Is it strong enough to fight the evil force of the dead among so many other things? Will Amelia regain her memory? Will she and Joshua find a way to be together? So many others are in danger, etc…Oh so many questions!!!


READ THE BOOK, THE FAERY SAYS!


Ms. Hudson writes a fantastic debut novel of forbidden love that is not only intriguing in that aspect but add in the thrills, chills and things that go bump in the night and it becomes a page turner that is difficult to put down. Her character and situational descriptions are incredibly relatable and sharp; I found myself crying at some parts of the book, trying not to skim paragraphs so that I could hurry up and find out what was going to happen-yes, it was that thrilling in some parts and rooting for Amelia and Joshua throughout the whole book. Don’t mistake me, Ms. Hudson found time to put some humor in there that had me snickering pretty loudly!
I would and have, highly recommend this book to all my friends.
