Westerfeld, Scott - Afterworlds - Informal Buddy Read: Start 18 January 2015

[Snowtulip]

I just started, through ch. 7. I thought I knew paranormal, but they were throwing names I've never heard of :)

The alternating chapters threw me for a loop at first, but I'm really liking it now.

[K~Terror]

Have you gotten to psychopomp?!! Lol!

[Snowtulip]

Yeah, new to me!

Now I'm going to be searching out all these paranormal :D

[Snowtulip]

Up to 25 (view spoiler)[I'm completely creeped out with Lizzie's trip to her moms old house, really nervous how this story line ends.

I'm hoping Darcy doesn't get jaded in NYC, and I really hope Imogen stays good for her (hide spoiler)]

[Snowtulip]

Finished (view spoiler)[for some reason I couldn't quiet connect with this book, I'm not sure of the two different story lines kept me a bit more dissociated from it all, or hearing about Lizzie's story when Darcy is making edits detracted for me (hide spoiler)]

I was (view spoiler)[ disappointed when Lizzie killed the perv-murderer. Not that he wasn't deserving, but I didn't want that for her..

Imogene seemed like a loose cannon to me but the resolution seemed good.. Darcy was too young to get caught up in a heavy relationship. Was glad she was thinking about going to school.

My favorite character in the book was Darcy's little sister. Oh, and I liked the aunt & the parents too!

Most importantly, any good words? LOL!

[Snowtulip]

Lol!

I also loved her sister too! And Sagen :)

[Renee]

I loved Darcy's little sister too.
(view spoiler)[ I thought Lizzie was just going to dig up the girls bones then call the police. But that wouldn't have stopped him hunting the ghost girls when he died. (hide spoiler)]

Oh yes!!

BTW - Have you read Downside Ghosts series (Stacie Kane)? I started the second book in the series after this one and they actually started talking about psychopomps! Ha! Never heard the term before and then I get it in back-to-back books!

I haven't, I have book 1 on my shelf just waiting to be read! I might have to read it to continue my psychopomp education :D
