Afterworlds

By: Scott Westerfeld

Narrated by: Sheetal Sheth, Heather Lind

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Westerfeld comes a “masterful” (Cory Doctorow) novel-within-a-novel that you won’t be able to put down.

Darcy Patel has put college on hold to publish her teen novel, Afterworlds. With a contract in hand, she arrives in New York City with no apartment, no friends, and all the wrong clothes. But lucky for Darcy, she’s taken under the wings of other seasoned and fledgling writers who help her navigate the city and the world of writing and publishing. Over the course of a year, Darcy finishes her book, faces critique, and falls in love.

Woven into Darcy’s personal story is her novel, Afterworlds, a suspenseful thriller about a teen who slips into the “Afterworld” to survive a terrorist attack. The Afterworld is a place between the living and the dead, and where many unsolved—and terrifying—stories need to be reconciled. Like Darcy, Lizzie too falls in love…until a new threat resurfaces, and her special gifts may not be enough to protect those she cares about most.

absolutely loved this book!

Amazing! just wish there was a second book. I just want to know more now!

Very Enjoyable Read

I really loved this book cover to cover! I started listening to it on a road trip and couldn't get enough I finished the whole book!

Amazing performance of a wonderful book

I highly recommend this book. It was amazing Westerfeld has outdone himself on this tale.

Heartfelt and original

I really loved both of their voices. I loved how different they were and also how well they went together. The story was very well thought through and real. Very real. There's always something magical about a book that comes across as sincere.

Two great stories in one book!

I loved this story! The audio made it easy to keep the two story lines clear...
