'Life’s been tough on Sophie Teague.

'Since her parents died in a freak motorbike accident, she’s been living with her gran in their rundown pub. And she’s just enrolled at a new school, desperate for a fresh start.

'That’s until ‘Eve’, a beautiful ghost clad in black, starts making terrifying nightly appearances in Sophie’s bedroom.

'Eve doesn’t speak, or write—she just hovers, transmitting images and pleading for Sophie’s help.

'What happened to Eve? Does it have something to do with the recent murder that sent a notorious bikie-gang leader on the run?

'Sophie isn’t sure—but she knows Eve won’t stop haunting her until she finds out. So with the unlikely help of her enigmatic classmate Jordan Haig, Sophie sets out to unravel the mystery.

'Dark, thrilling and utterly spooky, Afterlight will take you deep into the heart of a dangerous love story, revealing the unworldly—and deadly—pull of the past.' (Publication summary)

'It was a new world to which we were confined because of a bargain I’d made with Death himself: no paradise for Luc and the exiled, and none for me. But the moment I made my choice, I was marked for sacrifice, as was Ryan. A price was settled; a debt, escalated. Time. There would never be enough.

'It’s been two years since Gia Basso witnessed archangels and demons waging war upon each other beneath the dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan. Traumatised, Gia has been in self-imposed exile on the English coast. But the sudden reappearance of Mercy in her life, in a new and terrifying incarnation, draws Gia into a desperate struggle to locate Lucifer — who holds Ryan Daley captive in order to keep him from Mercy, his beloved, forever.

'Tasked by the archangels to destroy Lucifer, and by Mercy to help her trace and free Ryan, Gia is pushed to the limits of human endurance as she traverses the earth — with the help of friends old and new — to do the impossible. For Lucifer and his demons have discovered a new way to move freely in the human world. And Mercy and Gia must bargain with the Archangel of Death himself, Azraeil, to get what they want.'
