AFTERLIFE – Book Review

Look closely. There’s a dog next to the gorgeous lady on the cover of Merrie Destefano’s novel. And he’s not just on the cover. He plays an important part in the story.

This book intrigued me because I’m usually drawn to lighter fare, but I was entertained throughout and thoughtful at the end. Merrie’s writing style is fantastic. It’s a page-turner that I couldn’t put it down. It might have been the dog on the cover that got me interested, but it was the characters and the plot that kept me riveted.

A review from Jackie at BITTEN BY BOOKS: “I’ve struggled with the best way to describe AFTERLIFE by Merrie Destefano. Simply speaking, it’s the tale of a girl and her dog, star-crossed lovers, and second chances. In a broader sense, it’s existential, hopeful, beautiful, and dark…AFTERLIFE is everything I love about fiction–there’s danger, romance, a despicable villain, and room for a sequel. A strong start to a new series!”
