Review: 18 Truths (My So Called Afterlife #2) by Jamie Ayres

From Goodreads:
Lying is unbearable, betrayal is inevitable, and choosing which path to take is impossible.

Olga Gay Worontzoff ended her senior year as an eighteen-year-old girl totally in love with Nate, enjoying their new romance and about to attend the university of her dreams. Now she’s spending her summer in the weird subculture of the Underworld, with charmingly witty and powerful angels, and problematic demons, trying to rescue Connor, the best friend and secret crush she was unable to save during a freak accident.

But Nate has other things on his mind, mainly Grace. She’s their first assignment as joint spirit guides, and Olga’s feeling hurt and jealous. His mysterious behavior has Olga questioning everything she believed about him and now she must decide whether to stick to their plan, or follow her heart. Unfortunately, a series of mistakes threatens everyone around her and plants Olga in the center of cosmic events much larger than she ever imagined.

Only one thing is certain: the chilling truths uncovered during her journey will leave no one untouched. 

My Thoughts:
Now I'm back at work, I've got the Audible going again, and since book 1 was read at the end of the last school year this way, I got started on this book now I'm back.
Honestly, I struggled in the beginning to like this book. The whole thing didn't sit well with my own personal understanding of life after death and made me uncomfortable. But, since I really enjoyed the first book, I pushed on.
Once Olga and Nate started their assignment with Grace, I was hooked. I played the book at any moment I could to find out what they'd do next. I could really feel Olga's conflict and her need to know what had happened to Connor. I'd want to know what happened to the guy if I was in her shoes too!
I was still rooting for Nate, even when he seemed to be distracted. After getting to know him in book 1, I knew there would be more to it than his eyes wandering. The waiting for find out killed me though, and broke my heart.
By the end, I flicked straight onto book 3 on my Audible because THAT ENDING!  No spoilers, but the need to continue was imperative.
So, basically I'm still enjoying this series, even if this book had a rocky start for me. Now, to conclude Olga's sordid tale.
