Ameerah’s story begins in present time, much like Louie in Interview with the Vampire. She’s seeking salvation. She enlists the help of her dark spirit friend, Derek, hoping by telling her tale, he’ll be able to help her.

In 1925, #Ameerah was betrayed in one of the worst ways ever. She had two deep, dark secrets that were discovered and then used to wrongfully admit her into an insane asylum where horrible things were done to her. Back in those days, institutions were understaffed. There were cases where patients would be strapped to the bed or chair for days, induced into a “sleep therapy” state of mind. Government funding was poor, which resulted in horrible conditions in these facilities. Also, barbaric experiments were tested on patients to try out new medical treatments during that time. #Ameerah was murdered in 1925.

With hate in her heart towards humanity (can you blame her?), Ameerah finds herself at a recruiting station for the dark spirits. A hot, Irish lad named Aidan appears, introduces himself, tells her about his world, and shows Ameerah some nifty things. She decides to join him so she can get her revenge on those who double-crossed her, and so her journey begins as a dark spirit who can possess soulless humans.

Description:  

Some birds cannot be caged, and I’m one of them.

In 1925, eighteen-year-old Ameerah Arrowood is murdered in an insane asylum. She finds herself transported to a dreary realm that turns out to be a recruiting station for the dark spirits. With animosity in her heart toward humanity, she decides to join them.

For the next ninety years, Ameerah possesses soulless humans, living a hedonistic, mischievous and sometimes vengeful existence, but now she’s seeking salvation so she can crossover and save her lost love who is stuck in the lower world.

Ameerah enlists the help of her dark spirit friend Derek, who is straddling the line between Heaven and Hell. She tells him how it all began, weaving between historical timelines to now, hoping to gain understanding about why her parents betrayed her and wanting to get rid of the guilt weighing on her heart. In the end, the unexpected unfolds, throwing Ameerah a curve ball which changes her forever.

My Review: 

I was given this ARC for my honest review!

When I picked up AMEERAH I didn’t know what I was in store for. This book started off as Ameerah telling her story and what an amazing story this has been.
I was in awe reading this book. Her story was one of sadness, betrayal, heartbreak, and a horrible ending.
Reading this book had me envisioning this awesome book on screen. I could sense the everything in the air. I can hear the music in my ears, smell the cigarette smoke and taste the alcohol in between my lips.
I loved how Rebekkah Ford made me feel like I was living in the 1920’s which in fact would be a fascinating time to live (if you were a rebel like me).
I fell in love with how Rebekkah had me wanting more.
It was a wonderful book and I think all of my friends should read this!!! I wish I could say more but I don’t want to give anything away!

Thank you Rebekkah Ford for such an amazing journey!!!
