Arriving in New York with no apartment or friends she wonders whether she's made the right decision until she falls in with a crowd of other seasoned and fledgling writers who take her under their wings… Told in alternating chapters is Darcy's novel, a suspenseful thriller about Lizzie, a teen who slips into the 'Afterworld' to survive a terrorist attack. But the Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead and as Lizzie drifts between our world and that of the Afterworld, she discovers that many unsolved - and terrifying - stories need to be reconciled. And when a new threat resurfaces, Lizzie learns her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she loves and cares about most.
*I received the audio CDs from the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
This got a lot of hype at BEA14 and I was so curious to see how the story within a story idea would play out, especially after seeing the book trailer.
Unfortunately for me, I had trouble staying interested in either story. The change in POV actually pulled me out of both stories each time. I was only three chapters in with the paper version when I decided to switch to the audio. I figured maybe that would make a difference. It didn't. Despite being a really well done audiobook, the story itself wasn't for me.
