Radiance (Riley Bloom #1)

Riley has crossed the bridge into the afterlife--a place called Here, where time is always Now. She has picked up life where she left off when she was alive, living with her parents and dog in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. When she's summoned before The Council, she learns that the afterlife isn't just an eternity of leisure. She's been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a possibly cute, seemingly nerdy boy who's definitely hiding something. They return to earth together for Riley's first assignment, a Radiant Boy who's been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But all of that was before he met Riley . . .

Riley deixou sua irmã Ever no mundo dos vivos, e cruzou a ponte para o mundo da pós-vida – um lugar chamado Aqui, aonde o tempo é sempre Agora. Riley e seu cachorro, Buttercup, reuniram-se aos seus pais e estabeleceram uma morte relaxante e agradável até serem convocados pelo Conselho. Eles a contam um segredo – a pós-vida não é simplesmente um eterna vida de lazer; Riley tem que trabalhar. Lhe foi designado um trabalho, Coletora de Almas, e um professor, Bochi, um menino curioso que ela não consegue entender muito bem.
