After by: Amy Efaw

Hello everybody. I am now reading After. I am going to try to give you a review without telling you to much considering I am already half way through and it has only been a week or so. The book begins with the main charactor Devon and her mom Jennifer Davenport. Devon has appeared to miss school one day and her mom is surprisingly excited because she works graveyard and doesnt have much time with her. Well mom seems interested on why Devon actually stayed home because she is the type of kid whom never misses,honor student and star soccer player. So mom suspects something is wrong and Devon just isn't with it and blows her off as she doesn't feel good. Mom goes into how her day at work was, so Devon is listening but not paying attention. She says on her way home she noticed police sirens and red lights everywhere behind the apartment building and asked a detective"whats going on"? He gave minor details and she was shocked and overwhelmed at his response. Devon still not with it. A few moments later a knock on the door the detective from earlier was standing there. Jennifer, the flirt that she is, asks if she can help him in a flirty kind of way. The detective replies just want to ask a few questions about last night. She replies,she heard or knows nothing because she works nights but proceeds into telling him Devon was home all night and morning and possibly could help. And then the story begins. Tthat was the first chapter a basic review I dont want to ruin anything for anybody so you will just have to read it. I would strongly recommend it to anyone. It instantly grabs you from the begining and keeps you page turning. And I definetly would not change any element of this story. It's a must read book!!!!!!!

  1. Great "teaser" Angie. Make sure when you review a book or chapter that you are focusing more on your interpretation of the content than summarizing the content.
