Eva Weston is adrift in grief, the silence of her father's absence a constant ache. When a peculiar ad for "AfterLight" pops up-an AI service promising to resurrect loved ones' voices-she's skeptical, yet desperate. What begins as a digital shortcut through sorrow soon transforms into an unsettling journey into the past, guided by the very voice she mourned.

Her father's AI isn't just offering comfort; it's revealing cryptic clues, hinting at a hidden truth from a stormy night years ago at Willow Lake. With each fragmented memory and startling discovery-a blue box in the attic, a forgotten red notebook, a cracked green flashlight-Eva and her brother Sam find themselves unraveling a secret their father took to his grave, a dangerous puzzle involving a stranger, a warning, and a detective who never got closure.

As the line between memory and code blurs, Eva must confront how well she truly knew her father, and what happened when fear silenced him. Can she and Sam piece together the chilling reality before the past's shadows consume them? "Afterlight" is a gripping mystery that explores the echoes of unspoken truths and the enduring power of family.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.

Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
