The coins allow them to leave Everlost when they are ready, but Mary misguidedly believes that the light at the end of the tunnel is malicious and that children should stay in Everlost forever. She stole the coins that all Afterlights invariably have when they wake up. Mary, also known by others as the Sky Witch, had been lying to the children. However, unbeknownst to her Mikey was able to claw his way out of the center of the Earth through pure force of will, but over time evolved into a hideous monster, reflective of his anger. There, Megan watched as Mikey sank into the earth. Mikey and Megan died at the same time and after they awoke as Afterlights they went to their home. The real identity of the McGill is revealed - he is a boy named Mikey McGill, the younger brother of Mary Hightower (really Megan McGill). She makes him think that she can teach him to skinjack, even though only those who come to Everlost with the ability can.
Allie can manipulate the McGill and grow close to him as she attempts to save Nick and Lief. Since fortune cookies in Everlost always tell the truth, McGill believes he can come back to life if he collects a thousand souls. They are all hung by their ankles like pieces of meat. The McGill has taken hundreds of Afterlights, including Nick and Lief/Troy prisoner.

Allie explores her power while Nick begins to discover his own purpose.Īllie is captured by the McGill, a grotesque monster who controls a ship full of Afterlights who fear him. Allie gets Lief and Nick captured by The Haunter and learns that she can pick up living things and also possess living people, or "Skinjack". Allie sets out with Nick and Lief to see whether he has special powers and they meet The Haunter. Allie notices other Afterlights at the Twin Towers keep repeating and doing the same thing every day, becoming stuck in ruts. They settle down, but Allie is not content.
She lives with the children under her care in the destroyed World Trade Center, which exists because things that are much beloved in the world can cross into Everlost when they are destroyed. There, they meet Mary Hightower, the "mother" of Afterlights who keeps many Afterlights safe and is the author of hundreds of books about living in Everlost. He warns them of a dreaded and evil monster, the McGill, and Johnnie-O, and the altar boys before they make their way to New York City. They are somewhat like ghosts and retain the exact appearance they had when they died. Oh and P.S.Nick and Allie, who have just awoken in a ghostly parallel to the real world, are saved by a boy named Lief, who tells them that they are called "Afterlights" who cannot be seen by the living. So four stars for a really good reality but lacking in the relationship originality department.

Of course that isn't entirely true but if I say why, it will be a spoiler and I've been trying so hard lately to have spoiler free reviews so that's that. Declan gets pushed into the portal, they go on a long and dangerous journey alone, they fall in love, and have relationship problems along the way. The love story between Willow Rose and Declan was extremely predictable. The second reason, I haven' said about many books but I feel like I have to say it about this one. Yes, I have an extreme urge to get the next one but it wasn't great. I won't obsess over the characters or imagine what it would be like if Willow ended up with someone else or how she will defeat Hekate or anything like that. One, I'm sure you've heard me say before - it just isn't a true fangirl book for me. This is a 4 star book to me for two reasons.
She doesn't know a lot about the world or at the most just knows a bunch of facts with no experiences to go with them which is to be expected for her situation and age. she's lived a sheltered life so it was nice to see that the author kept it real by making her act that way. the main character, Willow Rose (I LOVE her name by the way!), is an immature 16 year-old but she has her bright moments. This book is about witches and all that fantasy stuff but it puts a new spin on it. I got this book on Amazon on a whim and I'm glad I did. That didn't happen to me but I imagine it could happen to someone. This is one of those books that you read after having read a bunch of books with the same plot and you just think "so books CAN be different!".
