I’ve decided to do something a little different with teasers for Hereafter. Instead of doing a few teasers spaced out until release day…instead, I’ll be sharing a few of my favorite quotes.
Mainly this is because I honestly couldn’t decided on a few paragraphs when these select sentences stuck out to me, and others who have already read Hereafter, so much. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think!
~ It was like being invisible and mute to others in an unchanging body, or at least that was what I imagined it would be like for me until the end of my forever.
~ He was like the jagged edges of the whisky bottle he’d thrown moments before, unfixable. Even if eventually he figured out how to pick up all of the pieces of himself and glue them back together again, he’d still never be the same.
~ Torment and sin, pain and evil floated through the air in a near suffocating haze. I could feel it surrounding me, brushing up against me, attempting to lure me in deeper and away from the door so I couldn’t escape as though it were alive. I licked my lips and tasted the bitterness of this place on my tongue.
~ It was the only thing I could think about as Purgatory picked at the box I’d tucked my desire for revenge in long ago. It chipped away at its exterior, releasing my pent up emotions until they threatened to consume me.
~ “I’d do anything to see you truly happy, Rowan, even help you achieve something that would take you away from me forever.”
~ After all, it’s our emotions that make us feel the most alive. Those who can’t feel are those whose souls have died before their time.
