⚠️ WARNING ⚠️: DO NOT READ WITHOUT READING PREVIOUS BOOKS IN SERIES


This book is a whole 10 hour movie. Not gonna lie. I loved it. It gave all the creepy, horror, scare me pantsless, make me cry vibes and so much more. 

You must read the first book before reading this. Otherwise you will be soooo lost. It was over a year in between reading this and the first book and I had to refreshy memory on sooo much throughout. This is a multiple POV book. And there are SEVERAL characters. I wrote out a key for myself to keep certain characters straight with there being so many. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! 

Afterlife gives you all your horror loving heart could desire. Death, destruction, ghosts, body horror, mayhem, murder, and of course the villains of the story. I really enjoyed seeing more from the villains perspective. Even if at times I questioned EVERYTHING. What do you expect when it's the villain. You have to expect the unexpected. 

Duncan never ceases to fail when it comes to this realm and the characters and alllll of the moving parts that keeps this ride going. I love this series sooo much. It gives me that extra grit that I need when I am in a slump or going into one. Even if I wasn't this series is eye catching and hard to not want to marathon read everything.
