Gone is the short-story/novella and in it's place is a full fledged book.  All those questions you had at the end of Touch and Choice?  By an large answered in Hereafter.  The story picks up with Rowan bringing us up to date.  She is now a true Reaper with responsibilities all her own.  That doesn't make her unfeeling however and the heartache in the first few chapters is almost palpable.Rowan is just a likeable character, dead or alive.  As the story is told through her eyes, I thought I already knew her from reading Touch and Choice.  I was wrong.  Ms. Snyder managed to infuse into Rowan even more depth and character growth, all throughout the book.  Her relationships are interesting and basically how the story progresses which I thought was very clever on Ms. Snyder's part.Don't worry girls, Jet is still with us and has finally come into his own.  He is more developed as a character and as such, so is the relationship between Jet and Rowen (who I always want to call Raven...go figure).  Their romance is still a part of the story but it is not the primary focus.  Rowan has too many things to work through and figure out and that is what the story is about.I commend Ms. Snyder for continuing to bring her talented writing abilities to the world in the Reaper series.  This is a very thought provoking book, one that I am sure raised many thoughts and  questions in herself, just as they did in me and will in you.  In the end, I was so pleased to have read Hereafter and I continue to want to follow the storyline.  I have come to care about the characters and their activities and how it all works with the World that we know and it has a somewhat haunting way of staying with you, long after you have read it.  I would again encourage all YA Paranormal Romance lovers to give Hereafter a read.  I think you will be glad that you did!**Note I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
