"Dying is easy-effortless-rather. Shedding your body is like coming into a room and hanging up your coat. You're still you, nothing has changed, other than your coat is off and... well... it's no longer on you. I know this because I'm dead. Yet I've found that death is not what we should fear. Who we are when we die, is perhaps what should concern us most about crossing over. For in death, all we have is what we really are." -Tess Obsessed about finding Alex, her soul mate, and her father, Leo, Tess does the unthinkable and unwittingly traps herself in the dark side of the afterlife. And what she finds there is not what she came looking for. The longer she stays in the darkness the harder it will be to get out. Hoping that her love for Alex will keep her from slipping further into the darkness, she searches, and searches through this infernal place. But her nature is beginning to change-she's becoming cynical, hardened, and apathetic-and she just got here. How has this darkness changed Alex? Can love exist in Hell?
