Radiance by Alyson Noel

Radiance follows the story of, Ever's (Main, character from, Noel's Immortals series) younger sister, Riley and her journey in the afterlife. Noel's take on the afterlife is very interesting and Riley is a spunky character who radiates energy and life. Her story is charming, fun and enjoyable. There is quite a bit that is left unexplained but Noel is developing, this into a series, with the next book due out March 15, titled Shimmer. This is a rather short book, than can easily be read within a few hours. Sit back and enjoy!
