From Goodreads. Aimee and Alan have secrets. Both teens have unusual pasts and abilities they prefer to keep hidden. But when they meet each other, in a cold Maine town, they can't stop their secrets from spilling out. Strange things have been happening lately, and they both feel that something-or someone- is haunting them. They're wrong. Despite their unusual history and powers, it's neither Aimee nor Alan who is truly haunted. It's Alan's cousin Courtney who, in a desperate plea to find her missing father, has invited a demon into her life-and into her body. Only together can Aimee and Alan exorcise the ghost. And they have to move quickly, before it devours not just Courtney but everything around her.
Review by Kate
AFTER OBSESSION, by Carrie Jones and Steven E. Wedel, is a spine-tingling thriller that I wouldn't recommend reading at night! This book was masterfully and seamlessly crafted by two talented authors with alternating POVs. I've never read anything quite as terrifying and awesome at the same time.
There are so many things I would love to say about this book but it would definitely spoil the awesomeness that is After Obsession. Aimee and Alan form a quick alliance when his cousin and her best friend becomes possessed by a hide-under-your-covers-creepy-demon. The whole town seems to be affected by this demon's powers and through Aimee's gift and Alan's Native American spirit guide, they are thrust into the roles they were destined to fulfill and hope to come out alive.
I loved the whole collaboration between these two authors. And this book is definitely something new in the world of current YA books. Jones and Wedel seriously know how to creep someone out with the fantastic evil they created. Any fans of the horror genre or those looking for a great book with scary tendencies should definitely pick it up!
