This trilogy ender comes to a heartbreaking but satisfying conclusion. Now Risen, Amelia can be seen among the living but cannot touch anything, not even boyfriend Joshua. When her long-tormenting demons present her with a choice--join them or Josh dies--Amelia understands that true love requires self-sacrifice. As before, sexual tension thrums through the supernatural tale.

In this paranormal romance, Amelia, a ghost, saves a teen named Joshua from drowning in the river she haunts (where she died). As a result, they both find something worth living for. Emotion-filled prose ratchets up the tension as the chaste courtship progresses. The story's climax, while dramatic, is a bit muddled.
