For No Mortal Creature

By: Keshe Chow

Narrated by: Katharine Chin

In this romantic, gothic fantasy inspired by Wuthering Heights, a teen girl with the power to move between life and death must journey into the afterlife. But to survive, she’ll need the help of her two sworn enemies—both dangerously captivating, both hiding secrets that could destroy her.

When Jia Yi finds herself alive again after being killed by an enemy’s sword, she realizes she possesses a rare power: the ability to move between life and death. With her new gift comes the discovery of a mysterious spirit realm teeming with ghosts like herself—and Lin, the boy she once loved before his betrayal tore them apart.

At first Jia wants nothing to do with any ghosts, metaphorical or otherwise. But when her beloved grandmother dies under suspicious circumstances, Jia is forced to follow in an attempt to save her.

In the death realm, though, even ghosts have ghosts. The afterlife is more complex than Jia ever could have imagined—and no one knows what lies at its end. To survive, Jia must rely on both Lin and her longtime enemy, the cold and enigmatic Prince Essien. The problem? She can’t trust either of them.

Jia is prepared to risk her soul if it means rescuing her grandmother—but what if in the process, she loses her heart, too?

Interesting

I had high hopes for this and it just wasn’t what I was expecting. It wasn’t bad, I finished it within a day. I just was hoping for something with more closure at the end since this appears to be a standalone. I like when the foes are defeated and the couple explores life after. This ending was very up in the air.
