A freak motorbike accident that claims the life of your parents is really all it takes to make your world fall apart. You might hope that a new beginning in a different high school is going to jumpstart your life; that a chance to reinvent yourself as just Sophie Teague, rather than Sophie-The-One-Whose-Parents-Died might just be all you need to get by. But before Sophie gets the chance to find out, she is visited by Eve. Eve isn’t like other girls. She is beautiful and mesmerizing and Eve needs Sophie to be her go-to girl. Because Eve can’t do much for herself since she died. Eve is a ghost and dealing with the dead who have ''unfinished business'' could be the biggest challenge of Sophie’s life.

In fact, all of the ingredients I mention above make for a fairly thrilling read, in no small part due to the diversity of the characters. ''Afterlight'' is certainly eerie and, if you will pardon the pun, haunting. At its heart, the tale is one of love and living and Lim makes a simple fictional pathway light up.

Finally a big shout of thanks to the lovely ladies and gents at Text Publishing for sending us this copy for review.
