Elegy

Tara Hudson brings the dark, romantic Hereafter trilogy to a thrilling conclusion with her YA novel Elegy.
 
The passionate love between ghost girl Amelia and human boy Joshua was powerful enough to break the barrier between life and death. Now the star-crossed lovers believe they can finally be together.
 
But demonic forces threaten to tear them apart. The evil beings tell Amelia she must turn herself over to darkness or they will kill a human every week.
 
Forces of light offer Amelia a solution. She can join them in gathering souls. If she does, however, she will never see Joshua again.
 
Amelia refuses to be separated from Joshua. She will fight the forces of darkness and light if that’s what it takes to keep him.

A stalker ghost, misguided Seers, and spellbinding wraiths in the French Quarter of New Orleans— Amelia Ashley has faced them all.

Now she's back in Oklahoma, and all she wants to do is spend the rest of her afterlife with her living boyfriend, Joshua Mayhew. But the demonic forces return to give her an ultimatum: turn herself over to the darkness or watch them murder one living person per week until she does.

As the body count rises, Amelia thinks she might really be doomed, until the forces of light give her another option. She can join them in their quest to gather souls, with a catch: Once she joins them, she can no longer save the people she's lost to the darkness . . . and she can never see Joshua again.

Faced with impossible choices, Amelia decides to take her afterlife into her own hands . . . and fight back.
